cmp These operators are documented in perlop.

ord EXPR ord Returns the numeric value of the first character of EXPR. If EXPR is an empty string, returns 0. If EXPR is omitted, uses $_ . (Note character, not byte.) For the reverse, see chr. See perlunicode for more about Unicode.

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

readpipe EXPR readpipe EXPR is executed as a system command. The collected standard output of the command is returned. In scalar context, it comes back as a single (potentially multi-line) string. In list context, returns a list of lines (however you've defined lines with $/ or $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR ). This is the internal function implementing the qx/EXPR/ operator, but you can use it directly. The qx/EXPR/ operator is discussed in more detail in I/O Operators in perlop. If EXPR is omitted,

$> The effective uid of this process. For example: $< = $>; # set real to effective uid ($<,$>) = ($>,$<); # swap real and effective uids You can change both the effective uid and the real uid at the same time by using POSIX::setuid() . Changes to $> require a check to $! to detect any possible errors after an attempted change. $< and $> can be swapped only on machines supporting setreuid() . Mnemonic: it's the uid you went to, if you're running setui
