import LIST There is no builtin import function. It is just an ordinary method (subroutine) defined (or inherited) by modules that wish to export names to another module. The use function calls the import method for the package used. See also use, perlmod, and Exporter.

index STR,SUBSTR,POSITION index STR,SUBSTR The index function searches for one string within another, but without the wildcard-like behavior of a full regular-expression pattern match. It returns the position of the first occurrence of SUBSTR in STR at or after POSITION. If POSITION is omitted, starts searching from the beginning of the string. POSITION before the beginning of the string or after its end is treated as if it were the beginning or the end, respectively. POSITION and the return va

I/O Operators There are several I/O operators you should know about. A string enclosed by backticks (grave accents) first undergoes double-quote interpolation. It is then interpreted as an external command, and the output of that command is the value of the backtick string, like in a shell. In scalar context, a single string consisting of all output is returned. In list context, a list of values is returned, one per line of output. (You can set $/ to use a different line terminator.) The comma

hex EXPR hex Interprets EXPR as a hex string and returns the corresponding value. (To convert strings that might start with either 0 , 0x , or 0b, see oct.) If EXPR is omitted, uses $_ . print hex '0xAf'; # prints '175' print hex 'aF'; # same Hex strings may only represent integers. Strings that would cause integer overflow trigger a warning. Leading whitespace is not stripped, unlike oct(). To present something as hex, look into printf, sprintf, and unpack.
