$^O The name of the operating system under which this copy of Perl was built, as determined during the configuration process. For examples see PLATFORMS in perlport. The value is identical to $Config{'osname'} . See also Config and the -V command-line switch documented in perlrun. In Windows platforms, $^O is not very helpful: since it is always MSWin32 , it doesn't tell the difference between 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/CE/.NET. Use Win32::GetOSName() or Win32::GetOSVersion() (see Win32 and perlport)

flock FILEHANDLE,OPERATION Calls flock(2), or an emulation of it, on FILEHANDLE. Returns true for success, false on failure. Produces a fatal error if used on a machine that doesn't implement flock(2), fcntl(2) locking, or lockf(3). flock is Perl's portable file-locking interface, although it locks entire files only, not records. Two potentially non-obvious but traditional flock semantics are that it waits indefinitely until the lock is granted, and that its locks are merely advisory. Such disc

listen SOCKET,QUEUESIZE Does the same thing that the listen(2) system call does. Returns true if it succeeded, false otherwise. See the example in Sockets: Client/Server Communication in perlipc.

Regexp Quote-Like Operators Here are the quote-like operators that apply to pattern matching and related activities. qr/STRING/msixpodualn This operator quotes (and possibly compiles) its STRING as a regular expression. STRING is interpolated the same way as PATTERN in m/PATTERN/. If "'" is used as the delimiter, no interpolation is done. Returns a Perl value which may be used instead of the corresponding /STRING/msixpodualn expression. The returned value is a normalized version of the origi
