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

perlunicode - Unicode support in Perl
DESCRIPTION
Important Caveats
Safest if you "use feature 'unicode_strings'", Input and Output
Layers, "use utf8" still needed to enable UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC in
scripts, BOM-marked scripts and UTF-16 scripts autodetected,
"use encoding" needed to upgrade non-Latin-1 byte strings
Byte and Character Semantics
Effects of Character Semantics
Unicode Character Properties
"\p{All}", "\p{Alnum}", "\p{Any}", "\p{ASCII}", "\p{Assigned}",
"\p{Blank}", "\p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical}" (Short:
"\p{Dt=NonCanon}"), "\p{Graph}", "\p{HorizSpace}", "\p{In=*}",
"\p{PerlSpace}", "\p{PerlWord}", "\p{Posix...}",
"\p{Present_In: *}" (Short: "\p{In=*}"), "\p{Print}",
"\p{SpacePerl}", "\p{Title}" and "\p{Titlecase}",
"\p{VertSpace}", "\p{Word}", "\p{XPosix...}"

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?

Compound form ("\p{name=value}" or "\p{name:value}") tighter
rules:, Stabilized, Deprecated, Obsolete, * is a wild-card, (\d+)
in the info column gives the number of code points matched by this
property, D means this is deprecated, O means this is obsolete, S
means this is stabilized, T means tighter (stricter) name matching
applies, X means use of this form is discouraged, and may not be
stable

Isn't Archive::Tar slow?, Isn't Archive::Tar heavier on memory than
/bin/tar?, Can you lazy-load data instead?, How much memory will an
X kb tar file need?, What do you do with unsupported filetypes in
an archive?, I'm using WinZip, or some other non-POSIX client, and
files are not being extracted properly!, How do I extract only
files that have property X from an archive?, How do I access .tar.Z
files?, How do I handle Unicode strings?

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 tar should I use on Windows?, 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?

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

Obtaining and installing libnet
What is libnet ?
Which version of perl do I need ?
What other modules do I need ?
What machines support libnet ?
Where can I get the latest libnet release
Using Net::FTP
How do I download files from an FTP server ?
How do I transfer files in binary mode ?
How can I get the size of a file on a remote FTP server ?
How can I get the modification time of a file on a remote FTP
server ?
How can I change the permissions of a file on a remote server ?
Can I do a reget operation like the ftp command ?
How do I get a directory listing from an FTP server ?
Changing directory to "" does not fail ?
I am behind a SOCKS firewall, but the Firewall option does not work
?
I am behind an FTP proxy firewall, but cannot access machines
outside ?
My ftp proxy firewall does not listen on port 21
Is it possible to change the file permissions of a file on an FTP
server ?
I have seen scripts call a method message, but cannot find it
documented ?
Why does Net::FTP not implement mput and mget methods
Using Net::SMTP
Why can't the part of an Email address after the @ be used as the
hostname ?
Why does Net::SMTP not do DNS MX lookups ?
The verify method always returns true ?
Debugging scripts
How can I debug my scripts that use Net::* modules ?

Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO - Customized option parser for Pod::Perldoc
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Call Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth),
Given -n, if there's a opt_n_with, it'll call $object->opt_n_with(
ARGUMENT ) (e.g., "-n foo" => $object->opt_n_with('foo'). Ditto
"-nfoo"), Otherwise (given -n) if there's an opt_n, we'll call it
$object->opt_n($truth) (Truth defaults to 1), Otherwise we try
calling $object->handle_unknown_option('n') (and we increment
the error count by the return value of it), If there's no
handle_unknown_option, then we just warn, and then increment the
error counter
