untie VARIABLE Breaks the binding between a variable and a package. (See tie.) Has no effect if the variable is not tied.

$^L What formats output as a form feed. The default is \f . You cannot call format_formfeed() on a handle, only as a static method. See IO::Handle.

require VERSION require EXPR require Demands a version of Perl specified by VERSION, or demands some semantics specified by EXPR or by $_ if EXPR is not supplied. VERSION may be either a numeric argument such as 5.006, which will be compared to $] , or a literal of the form v5.6.1, which will be compared to $^V (aka $PERL_VERSION). An exception is raised if VERSION is greater than the version of the current Perl interpreter. Compare with use, which can do a similar check at compile time. Specif

If no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions. SYNOPSIS use Term::ReadLine; my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Simple Perl calc'); my $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: "; my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT; while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) { my $res = eval

binmode FILEHANDLE, LAYER binmode FILEHANDLE Arranges for FILEHANDLE to be read or written in "binary" or "text" mode on systems where the run-time libraries distinguish between binary and text files. If FILEHANDLE is an expression, the value is taken as the name of the filehandle. Returns true on success, otherwise it returns undef and sets $! (errno). On some systems (in general, DOS- and Windows-based systems) binmode() is necessary when you're not working with a text file. For the sake of p

pack TEMPLATE,LIST Takes a LIST of values and converts it into a string using the rules given by the TEMPLATE. The resulting string is the concatenation of the converted values. Typically, each converted value looks like its machine-level representation. For example, on 32-bit machines an integer may be represented by a sequence of 4 bytes, which will in Perl be presented as a string that's 4 characters long. See perlpacktut for an introduction to this function. The TEMPLATE is a sequence of ch

next LABEL next EXPR next The next command is like the continue statement in C; it starts the next iteration of the loop: LINE: while (<STDIN>) { next LINE if /^#/; # discard comments #... } Note that if there were a continue block on the above, it would get executed even on discarded lines. If LABEL is omitted, the command refers to the innermost enclosing loop. The next EXPR form, available as of Perl 5.18.0, allows a label name to be computed at run time, being otherwise iden
