${^ENCODING} DEPRECATED!!! The object reference to the Encode object that is used to convert the source code to Unicode. Thanks to this variable your Perl script does not have to be written in UTF-8. Default is undef. Setting this variable to any other value than undef is deprecated due to fundamental defects in its design and implementation. It is planned to remove it from a future Perl version. Its purpose was to allow your non-ASCII Perl scripts to not have to be written in UTF-8; this was

seekdir DIRHANDLE,POS Sets the current position for the readdir routine on DIRHANDLE. POS must be a value returned by telldir. seekdir also has the same caveats about possible directory compaction as the corresponding system library routine.

msgsnd ID,MSG,FLAGS Calls the System V IPC function msgsnd to send the message MSG to the message queue ID. MSG must begin with the native long integer message type, be followed by the length of the actual message, and then finally the message itself. This kind of packing can be achieved with pack("l! a*", $type, $message) . Returns true if successful, false on error. See also the IPC::SysV and IPC::SysV::Msg documentation. Portability issues: msgsnd in perlport.

scalar EXPR Forces EXPR to be interpreted in scalar context and returns the value of EXPR. @counts = ( scalar @a, scalar @b, scalar @c ); There is no equivalent operator to force an expression to be interpolated in list context because in practice, this is never needed. If you really wanted to do so, however, you could use the construction @{[ (some expression) ]} , but usually a simple (some expression) suffices. Because scalar is a unary operator, if you accidentally use a parenthesized list
