NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHOR MODIFICATION HISTORY COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE NAME IO::Compress::Base - Base Class for IO::Compress modules SYNOPSIS use IO::Compress::Base ; DESCRIPTION This module is not intended for direct use in application code. Its sole purpose is to be sub-classed by IO::Compress modules.

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION DEPRECATED NAME IO - load various IO modules SYNOPSIS use IO qw(Handle File); # loads IO modules, here IO::Handle, IO::File use IO; # DEPRECATED DESCRIPTION IO provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules in one go. The IO modules belonging to the core are: IO::Handle IO::Seekable IO::File IO::Pipe IO::Socket IO::Dir IO::Select IO::Poll Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded as well if they have been i

Integer Arithmetic By default, Perl assumes that it must do most of its arithmetic in floating point. But by saying use integer; you may tell the compiler to use integer operations (see integer for a detailed explanation) from here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK. An inner BLOCK may countermand this by saying no integer; which lasts until the end of that BLOCK. Note that this doesn't mean everything is an integer, merely that Perl will use integer operations for arithmetic, comparison, and

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION NAME integer - Perl pragma to use integer arithmetic instead of floating point SYNOPSIS use integer; $x = 10/3; # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333 DESCRIPTION This tells the compiler to use integer operations from here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK. On many machines, this doesn't matter a great deal for most computations, but on those without floating point hardware, it can make a big difference in performance. Note that this only affects how most of the ari

int EXPR int Returns the integer portion of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, uses $_ . You should not use this function for rounding: one because it truncates towards 0 , and two because machine representations of floating-point numbers can sometimes produce counterintuitive results. For example, int(-6.725/0.025) produces -268 rather than the correct -269; that's because it's really more like -268.99999999999994315658 instead. Usually, the sprintf, printf, or the POSIX::floor and POSIX::ceil function

INIT These compile phase keywords are documented in BEGIN, UNITCHECK, CHECK, INIT and END in perlmod.

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

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.
