$^P The internal variable for debugging support. The meanings of the various bits are subject to change, but currently indicate: 0 x01 Debug subroutine enter/exit. 0 x02 Line-by-line debugging. Causes DB::DB() subroutine to be called for each statement executed. Also causes saving source code lines (like 0x400). 0 x04 Switch off optimizations. 0 x08 Preserve more data for future interactive inspections. 0 x10 Keep info about source lines on which a subroutine is defined. 0 x20 Start

$^X The name used to execute the current copy of Perl, from C's argv[0] or (where supported) /proc/self/exe. Depending on the host operating system, the value of $^X may be a relative or absolute pathname of the perl program file, or may be the string used to invoke perl but not the pathname of the perl program file. Also, most operating systems permit invoking programs that are not in the PATH environment variable, so there is no guarantee that the value of $^X is in PATH. For VMS, the value

format Declare a picture format for use by the write function. For example: format Something = Test: @<<<<<<<< @||||| @>>>>> $str, $%, '$' . int($num) . $str = "widget"; $num = $cost/$quantity; $~ = 'Something'; write; See perlform for many details and examples.

dbmopen HASH,DBNAME,MASK [This function has been largely superseded by the tie function.] This binds a dbm(3), ndbm(3), sdbm(3), gdbm(3), or Berkeley DB file to a hash. HASH is the name of the hash. (Unlike normal open, the first argument is not a filehandle, even though it looks like one). DBNAME is the name of the database (without the .dir or .pag extension if any). If the database does not exist, it is created with protection specified by MASK (as modified by the umask). To prevent creation

chmod LIST Changes the permissions of a list of files. The first element of the list must be the numeric mode, which should probably be an octal number, and which definitely should not be a string of octal digits: 0644 is okay, but "0644" is not. Returns the number of files successfully changed. See also oct if all you have is a string. $cnt = chmod 0755, "foo", "bar"; chmod 0755, @executables; $mode = "0644"; chmod $mode, "foo"; # !!! sets mode to

shmctl ID,CMD,ARG Calls the System V IPC function shmctl. You'll probably have to say use IPC::SysV; first to get the correct constant definitions. If CMD is IPC_STAT , then ARG must be a variable that will hold the returned shmid_ds structure. Returns like ioctl: undef for error; "0 but true" for zero; and the actual return value otherwise. See also SysV IPC in perlipc and IPC::SysV documentation. Portability issues: shmctl in perlport.
