NAME VERSION DESCRIPTION OVERRIDDEN METHODSInstance Methods NAME TAP::Parser::Result::Bailout - Bailout result token. VERSION Version 3.35 DESCRIPTION This is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Result. A token of this class will be returned if a bail out line is encountered. 1..5 ok 1 - woo hooo! Bail out! Well, so much for "woo hooo!" OVERRIDDEN METHODS Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night. as_string Instance Methods explana

chr NUMBER chr Returns the character represented by that NUMBER in the character set. For example, chr(65) is "A" in either ASCII or Unicode, and chr(0x263a) is a Unicode smiley face. Negative values give the Unicode replacement character (chr(0xfffd)), except under the bytes pragma, where the low eight bits of the value (truncated to an integer) are used. If NUMBER is omitted, uses $_ . For the reverse, use ord. Note that characters from 128 to 255 (inclusive) are by default internally not enc

getlogin This implements the C library function of the same name, which on most systems returns the current login from /etc/utmp, if any. If it returns the empty string, use getpwuid. $login = getlogin || getpwuid($<) || "Kilroy"; Do not consider getlogin for authentication: it is not as secure as getpwuid. Portability issues: getlogin in perlport.

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION CAVEATS NAME Tie::SubstrHash - Fixed-table-size, fixed-key-length hashing SYNOPSIS require Tie::SubstrHash; tie %myhash, 'Tie::SubstrHash', $key_len, $value_len, $table_size; DESCRIPTION The Tie::SubstrHash package provides a hash-table-like interface to an array of determinate size, with constant key size and record size. Upon tying a new hash to this package, the developer must specify the size of the keys that will be used, the size of the value fields that the

eval EXPR eval BLOCK eval In the first form, often referred to as a "string eval", the return value of EXPR is parsed and executed as if it were a little Perl program. The value of the expression (which is itself determined within scalar context) is first parsed, and if there were no errors, executed as a block within the lexical context of the current Perl program. This means, that in particular, any outer lexical variables are visible to it, and any package variable settings or subroutine and

times Returns a four-element list giving the user and system times in seconds for this process and any exited children of this process. ($user,$system,$cuser,$csystem) = times; In scalar context, times returns $user . Children's times are only included for terminated children. Portability issues: times in perlport.

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION NAME integer - Perl pragma to use integer arithmetic instead of floating point SYNOPSIS use integer; $x = 10/3; # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333 DESCRIPTION This tells the compiler to use integer operations from here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK. On many machines, this doesn't matter a great deal for most computations, but on those without floating point hardware, it can make a big difference in performance. Note that this only affects how most of the ari

chown LIST Changes the owner (and group) of a list of files. The first two elements of the list must be the numeric uid and gid, in that order. A value of -1 in either position is interpreted by most systems to leave that value unchanged. Returns the number of files successfully changed. $cnt = chown $uid, $gid, 'foo', 'bar'; chown $uid, $gid, @filenames; On systems that support fchown(2), you may pass filehandles among the files. On systems that don't support fchown(2), passing filehandles ra
