  perltrap - Perl traps for the unwary

DESCRIPTION
    Awk Traps
    C/C++ Traps
    Sed Traps
    Shell Traps
    Perl Traps
    Perl4 to Perl5 Traps
        Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix traps, Parsing Traps, Numerical Traps, General data type traps, Context Traps - scalar, list contexts, Precedence Traps, General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc, Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps, OS Traps, DBM Traps, Unclassified Traps

    Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix traps
        Symbols starting with "_" no longer forced into main, Double-colon valid package separator in variable name, 2nd and 3rd args to "splice()" are now in scalar context, Can't do "goto" into a block that is optimized away, Can't use whitespace as variable name or quote delimiter, "while/if BLOCK BLOCK" gone, "**" binds tighter than unary minus, "foreach" changed when iterating over a list, "split" with no args behavior changed, -e behavior fixed, "push" returns number of elements in resulting list, Some error messages differ, "split()" honors subroutine args, Bugs removed

    Parsing Traps
        Space between . and = triggers syntax error, Better parsing in perl 5, Function parsing, String interpolation of $#array differs, Perl guesses on "map", "grep" followed by "{" if it starts BLOCK or hash ref

    Numerical Traps
        Formatted output and significant digits, Auto-increment operator over signed int limit deleted, Assignment of return values from numeric equality tests doesn't work, Bitwise string ops

    General data type traps
        Negative array subscripts now count from the end of array, Setting $#array lower now discards array elements, Hashes get defined before use, Glob assignment from localized variable to variable, Assigning "undef" to glob, Changes in unary negation (of strings), Modifying of constants prohibited, "defined $var" behavior changed, Variable Suicide

    Context Traps - scalar, list contexts
        Elements of argument lists for formats evaluated in list context, "caller()" returns false value in scalar context if no caller present, Comma operator in scalar context gives scalar context to args, "sprintf()" prototyped as "($;@)"

    Precedence Traps
        LHS vs. RHS of any assignment operator, Semantic errors introduced due to precedence, Precedence of assignment operators same as the precedence of assignment, "open" requires parentheses around filehandle, $: precedence over $:: gone, Precedence of file test operators documented, "keys", "each", "values" are regular named unary operators

    General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc.
        "s'$lhs'$rhs'" interpolates on either side, "m//g" attaches its state to the searched string, "m//o" used within an anonymous sub, $+ isn't set to whole match, Substitution now returns null string if it fails, "s`lhs`rhs`" is now a normal substitution, Stricter parsing of variables in regular expressions, "m?x?" matches only once, Failed matches don't reset the match variables

    Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps
        Barewords that used to look like strings look like subroutine calls, Reverse is no longer allowed as the name of a sort subroutine, "warn()" won't let you specify a filehandle

    OS Traps
        SysV resets signal handler correctly, SysV "seek()" appends correctly

    Interpolation Traps
        "@" always interpolates an array in double-quotish strings, Double-quoted strings may no longer end with an unescaped $, Arbitrary expressions are evaluated inside braces within double quotes, $$x now tries to dereference $x, Creation of hashes on the fly with "eval "EXPR"" requires protection, Bugs in earlier perl versions, Array and hash brackets during interpolation, Interpolation of "\$$foo{bar}", "qq()" string passed to "eval" will not find string terminator

    DBM Traps
        Perl5 must have been linked with same dbm/ndbm as the default for "dbmopen()", DBM exceeding limit on the key/value size will cause perl5 to exit immediately

    Unclassified Traps
        "require"/"do" trap using returned value, "split" on empty string with LIMIT specified

  perlfaq6 - Regular Expressions

DESCRIPTION
    How can I hope to use regular expressions without creating illegible and unmaintainable code?

    How can I pull out lines between two patterns that are themselves on different lines?
    How do I match XML, HTML, or other nasty, ugly things with a regex?
        Solve the balanced text problem from another question in perlfaq6, Try the recursive regex features in Perl 5.10 and later. See perlre, Try defining a grammar using Perl 5.10's "(?DEFINE)" feature, Break the problem down into sub-problems instead of trying to use a single regex, Convince everyone not to use XML or HTML in the first place

    I put a regular expression into $/ but it didn't work. What's wrong?
    How do I substitute case insensitively on the LHS while preserving case on the RHS?
    How can I make "\w" match national character sets?
    How can I match a locale-smart version of "/[a-zA-Z]/"?
    How can I quote a variable to use in a regex?
    What is "/o" really for?
    How do I use a regular expression to strip C style comments from a file?
    Can I use Perl regular expressions to match balanced text?
    What does it mean that regexes are greedy?  How can I get around it?
    How do I process each word on each line?
    How can I print out a word-frequency or line-frequency summary?
    How can I do approximate matching?
    How do I efficiently match many regular expressions at once?
    Why don't word-boundary searches with "\b" work for me?
    Why does using $&, $`, or $' slow my program down?
    What good is "\G" in a regular expression?
    Are Perl regexes DFAs or NFAs?  Are they POSIX compliant?
    What's wrong with using grep in a void context?
    How can I match strings with multibyte characters?

  perlunifaq - Perl Unicode FAQ

Q and A
    perlunitut isn't really a Unicode tutorial, is it?
    What character encodings does Perl support?
    Which version of perl should I use?
    What about binary data, like images?
    When should I decode or encode?
    What if I don't decode?
    What if I don't encode?
    Is there a way to automatically decode or encode?
    What if I don't know which encoding was used?
    Can I use Unicode in my Perl sources?
    Data::Dumper doesn't restore the UTF8 flag; is it broken?
    Why do regex character classes sometimes match only in the ASCII range?
    Why do some characters not uppercase or lowercase correctly?
    How can I determine if a string is a text string or a binary string?
    How do I convert from encoding FOO to encoding BAR?
    What are "decode_utf8" and "encode_utf8"?
    What is a "wide character"?
INTERNALS
    What is "the UTF8 flag"?
    What about the "use bytes" pragma?
    What about the "use encoding" pragma?
    What is the difference between ":encoding" and ":utf8"?
    What's the difference between "UTF-8" and "utf8"?
    I lost track; what encoding is the internal format really?

  ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config - Wrapper around Config.pm

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION

  ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About MakeMaker

DESCRIPTION
    Module Installation
        How do I install a module into my home directory?, How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?, How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without installing it?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook

    Philosophy and History
        Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What is
        Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl.    no make, no
        shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft

    Module Writing
        How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's this META.yml thing and how did it get in my MANIFEST?!, How do I delete everything not in my MANIFEST?, Which zip should I use on Windows for '[nd]make zipdist'?

    XS  How to I prevent "object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY" errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?

  Filter::Simple - Simplified source filtering
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
    The Problem
    A Solution
    Disabling or changing <no> behaviour
    All-in-one interface
    Filtering only specific components of source code
        "code", "code_no_comments", "executable", "executable_no_comments", "quotelike", "string", "regex", "all"

    Filtering only the code parts of source code
        Most source code ceases to be grammatically correct when it is broken up into the pieces between string literals and regexes. So the 'code' and 'code_no_comments' component filter behave slightly differently from the other partial filters described in the previous section.

    Using Filter::Simple with an explicit "import" subroutine

  Module::Build::Cookbook - Examples of Module::Build Usage
DESCRIPTION
BASIC RECIPES
    Installing modules that use Module::Build
    Modifying Config.pm values
    Installing modules using the programmatic interface
    Installing to a temporary directory
    Installing to a non-standard directory
    Installing in the same location as ExtUtils::MakeMaker
    Running a single test file
ADVANCED RECIPES
    Making a CPAN.pm-compatible distribution
    Changing the order of the build process
    Adding new file types to the build process
    Adding new elements to the install process
EXAMPLES ON CPAN
    SVN-Notify-Mirror
        1. Using "auto_features", I check to see whether two optional modules are available - SVN::Notify::Config and Net::SSH;, 2. If the S::N::Config module is loaded, I automatically generate test files for it during Build (using the "PL_files" property), 3. If the "ssh_feature" is available, I ask if the user wishes to perform the ssh tests (since it requires a little preliminary setup);, 4. Only if the user has "ssh_feature" and answers yes to the testing, do I generate a test file
