+# Quoting perlpodspec:
+
+# In parsing an L<...> code, Pod parsers must distinguish at least four
+# attributes:
+
+############# Not used.  Expressed via the element children plus
+#############  the value of the "content-implicit" flag.
+# First:
+# The link-text. If there is none, this must be undef. (E.g., in "L<Perl
+# Functions|perlfunc>", the link-text is "Perl Functions". In
+# "L<Time::HiRes>" and even "L<|Time::HiRes>", there is no link text. Note
+# that link text may contain formatting.)
+# 
+
+############# The element children
+# Second:
+# The possibly inferred link-text -- i.e., if there was no real link text,
+# then this is the text that we'll infer in its place. (E.g., for
+# "L<Getopt::Std>", the inferred link text is "Getopt::Std".)
+#
+
+############# The "to" attribute (which might be text, or a treelet)
+# Third:
+# The name or URL, or undef if none. (E.g., in "L<Perl
+# Functions|perlfunc>", the name -- also sometimes called the page -- is
+# "perlfunc". In "L</CAVEATS>", the name is undef.)
+# 
+
+############# The "section" attribute (which might be next, or a treelet)
+# Fourth:
+# The section (AKA "item" in older perlpods), or undef if none. E.g., in
+# Getopt::Std/DESCRIPTION, "DESCRIPTION" is the section. (Note that this
+# is not the same as a manpage section like the "5" in "man 5 crontab".
+# "Section Foo" in the Pod sense means the part of the text that's
+# introduced by the heading or item whose text is "Foo".)
+# 
+# Pod parsers may also note additional attributes including:
+#
+
+############# The "type" attribute.
+# Fifth:
+# A flag for whether item 3 (if present) is a URL (like
+# "http://lists.perl.org" is), in which case there should be no section
+# attribute; a Pod name (like "perldoc" and "Getopt::Std" are); or
+# possibly a man page name (like "crontab(5)" is).
+#
+
+############# Not implemented, I guess.
+# Sixth:
+# The raw original L<...> content, before text is split on "|", "/", etc,
+# and before E<...> codes are expanded.
+
+
+# For L<...> codes without a "name|" part, only E<...> and Z<> codes may
+# occur -- no other formatting codes. That is, authors should not use
+# "L<B<Foo::Bar>>".
+#
+# Note, however, that formatting codes and Z<>'s can occur in any and all

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple - framework for parsing Pod
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ TODO
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Pod::Simple is a Perl library for parsing text in the Pod ("plain old
+documentation") markup language that is typically used for writing
+documentation for Perl and for Perl modules. The Pod format is explained
+in the L<perlpod|perlpod> man page; the most common formatter is called
+"perldoc".
+
+Pod formatters can use Pod::Simple to parse Pod documents into produce
+renderings of them in plain ASCII, in HTML, or in any number of other
+formats. Typically, such formatters will be subclasses of Pod::Simple,
+and so they will inherit its methods, like C<parse_file>.
+
+If you're reading this document just because you have a Pod-processing
+subclass that you want to use, this document (plus the documentation for
+the subclass) is probably all you'll need to read.
+
+If you're reading this document because you want to write a formatter
+subclass, continue reading this document, and then read
+L<Pod::Simple::Subclassing>, and then possibly even read L<perlpodspec>
+(some of which is for parser-writers, but much of which is notes to
+formatter-writers).
+
+
+=head1 MAIN METHODS
+
+
+
+=over
+
+=item C<< $parser = I<SomeClass>->new(); >>
+
+This returns a new parser object, where I<C<SomeClass>> is a subclass
+of Pod::Simple.
+
+=item C<< $parser->output_fh( *OUT ); >>
+
+This sets the filehandle that C<$parser>'s output will be written to.
+You can pass C<*STDOUT>, otherwise you should probably do something
+like this:
+
+    my $outfile = "output.txt";
+    open TXTOUT, ">$outfile" or die "Can't write to $outfile: $!";
+    $parser->output_fh(*TXTOUT);
+
+...before you call one of the C<< $parser->parse_I<whatever> >> methods.
+
+=item C<< $parser->output_string( \$somestring ); >>
+
+This sets the string that C<$parser>'s output will be sent to,
+instead of any filehandle.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->parse_file( I<$some_filename> ); >>
+
+=item C<< $parser->parse_file( *INPUT_FH ); >>
+
+This reads the Pod content of the file (or filehandle) that you specify,
+and processes it with that C<$parser> object, according to however
+C<$parser>'s class works, and according to whatever parser options you
+have set up for this C<$parser> object.
+
+=item C<< $parser->parse_string_document( I<$all_content> ); >>
+
+This works just like C<parse_file> except that it reads the Pod
+content not from a file, but from a string that you have already
+in memory.
+
+=item C<< $parser->parse_lines( I<...@lines...>, undef ); >>
+
+This processes the lines in C<@lines> (where each list item must be a
+defined value, and must contain exactly one line of content -- so no
+items like C<"foo\nbar"> are allowed).  The final C<undef> is used to
+indicate the end of document being parsed.
+
+The other C<parser_I<whatever>> methods are meant to be called only once
+per C<$parser> object; but C<parse_lines> can be called as many times per
+C<$parser> object as you want, as long as the last call (and only
+the last call) ends with an C<undef> value.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->content_seen >>
+
+This returns true only if there has been any real content seen
+for this document.
+
+
+=item C<< I<SomeClass>->filter( I<$filename> ); >>
+
+=item C<< I<SomeClass>->filter( I<*INPUT_FH> ); >>
+
+=item C<< I<SomeClass>->filter( I<\$document_content> ); >>
+
+This is a shortcut method for creating a new parser object, setting the
+output handle to STDOUT, and then processing the specified file (or
+filehandle, or in-memory document). This is handy for one-liners like
+this:
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::Text -e "Pod::Simple::Text->filter('thingy.pod')"
+
+=back
+
+
+
+=head1 SECONDARY METHODS
+
+Some of these methods might be of interest to general users, as
+well as of interest to formatter-writers.
+
+Note that the general pattern here is that the accessor-methods
+read the attribute's value with C<< $value = $parser->I<attribute> >>
+and set the attribute's value with
+C<< $parser->I<attribute>(I<newvalue>) >>.  For each accessor, I typically
+only mention one syntax or another, based on which I think you are actually
+most likely to use.
+
+
+=over
+
+=item C<< $parser->no_whining( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+If you set this attribute to a true value, you will suppress the
+parser's complaints about irregularities in the Pod coding. By default,
+this attribute's value is false, meaning that irregularities will
+be reported.
+
+Note that turning this attribute to true won't suppress one or two kinds
+of complaints about rarely occurring unrecoverable errors.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->no_errata_section( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+If you set this attribute to a true value, you will stop the parser from
+generating a "POD ERRORS" section at the end of the document. By
+default, this attribute's value is false, meaning that an errata section
+will be generated, as necessary.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->complain_stderr( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+If you set this attribute to a true value, it will send reports of
+parsing errors to STDERR. By default, this attribute's value is false,
+meaning that no output is sent to STDERR.
+
+Note that errors can be noted in an errata section, or sent to STDERR,
+or both, or neither. So don't think that turning on C<complain_stderr>
+will turn off C<no_errata_section> or vice versa -- these are
+independent attributes.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->source_filename >>
+
+This returns the filename that this parser object was set to read from.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->doc_has_started >>
+
+This returns true if C<$parser> has read from a source, and has seen
+Pod content in it.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->source_dead >>
+
+This returns true if C<$parser> has read from a source, and come to the
+end of that source.
+
+=back
+
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+This is just a beta release -- there are a good number of things still
+left to do.  Notably, support for EBCDIC platforms is still half-done,
+an untested.

+# ChangeLog for Pod::Simple dist     # Time-stamp: "2005-11-21 12:33:54 PST"
+#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+2005-11-21   Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
+	* Release 3.03
+
+	Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from 
+        Russ Allbery.
+
+	Applied validation patches to Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr.
+
+2004-05-24   Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 3.02
+
+	Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch.
+
+	
+2004-05-24   Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 3.01
+
+	No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to
+	the important Pod::Simple::HTML module.
+
+	Also, new modules:
+	  Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch
+	  Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy
+	  Pod::Simple::Progress
+	  Pod::Simple::Search
+	and tests for these (well, most).
+
+	Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL.
+
+	The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now.
+
+	The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and
+	Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon.
+	
+	
+	
+2004-05-07   Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.06
+
+	Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
+	Blackbox.pm.  Code is now actually sanely readable!
+
+	I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
+	codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
+        abandon_output_fh.  Not yet documented.
+
+	New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
+	greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
+	
+	Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
+	new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
+
+	Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!
+
+	
+2003-11-04  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
+
+	In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
+	crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
+	under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
+	under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
+	"can't render" symbol, either a "¤" or a "?".
+	Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
+
+	(Works under 5.005 now too?)
+	
+2003-10-10  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
+
+	* Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
+	the value of $/.  Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
+	* Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
+	perls.  Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
+	* Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
+	because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC  Thanks to many
+	who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
+	
+2003-09-07  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
+	* A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
+	warns.
+	* Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
+	Makefile.
+	* Added some tests for those bugs.
+	
+2003-09-02  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
+	* Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
+	testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt.  Fixed,
+	* I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
+
+	
+2003-09-01  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 2.01
+	* Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
+	numerology.
+
+	* Implemented =encoding.  Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
+	Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
+	encouragement.
+
+	It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
+	least.
+
+	* Added 'use utf8' to all the modules.  Byebye perl-5.005
+	compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.
+

+	
+2003-09-01  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.98
+	* At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
+	"=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
+	treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
+	text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
+	
+2003-08-12  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.97
+	* Loooking goooooood.  Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
+	* I think this might be the last version before I go
+	putting "use utf8" all over the place.
+
+	* Added placefolders for "=encoding" support.  If you use
+	"=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
+	instead of "unknown directive".
+
+	* Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
+	get_version, get_author, and get_description.  Documented them.
+	Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
+	then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
+	on end!
+	
+	* More tests.
+	
+	Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
+	* Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
+	* Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
+           unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
+	* Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
+	* A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
+	* Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
+	* Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
+	* A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
+	
+2002-11-19  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.96
+	* Still kinda sorta beta.
+
+	* Much much more docs in this version.  Only a few feature
+	changes:
+
+	* Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple.  Should've been in there
+	ages ago.  Oops!
+	* Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
+	* Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
+	and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken
+	* Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF.
+	
+2002-11-10  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.95
+	* Beta release.  Much documentation still to write, many features
+	still to add.  The APIs might change in future versions.
+
+	* Now including perlpod and perlpodspec in the dist.
+
+	* Pod::Simple -- added parse_from_file
+	* Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style changes, and minor change to the
+	RTF-wrapping logic.
+	* Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- a =cut opening a block is no longer a
+	fatal(ish) error.
+	* Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added experimental new
+	VerbatimFormatted stuff.
+
+	
+2002-10-16  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.94
+	* Beta release.  Much documentation still to write, many features
+        still to add.  The APIs might change in future versions.
+
+	* Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style tweaks
+	* Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken and ::PullParserStartToken --
+	added ->tag as an alias for ->tagname.
+	* Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added tolerance for
+	"=item * Foo" as a variant syntax for "=item *\n\nFoo".  Tests
+	added/changed accordingly.
+	* Pod::Simple::HTML -- added <a name="..."> stuff, and a hack at
+	doing something with X<...>'s.
+
+	
+2002-09-29  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.93
+	* Beta release.  Much documentation still to write, many features
+	still to add.  The APIs might change in future versions.
+
+        * Pod::Simple -- added errors_seen attribute
+	* Pod::Simple::HTML -- added support for =for HTML ... directives,
+	and =extend directives.
+	* Oh, and I added Pod::Simple::RTF in 0.92 but forgot to note it
+	until now.
+	
+2002-09-29  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.92
+	* Beta release.  Much documentation still to write, many features
+	still to add.  The APIs might change in future versions.
+
+	* Fixing bungled distribution.
+	
+2002-09-29  Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
+	* Release 0.91
+	* Beta release.  Much documentation still to write, many features
+	still to add.  The APIs might change in future versions.

+	* Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- added 'text_r'
+
+	* Pod::Simple::PullParser -- added 'get_title' and
+	'get_title_short' to 
+
+	* Pod::Simple -- corrected wording of "Format for second =extend
+	parameter" error message.
+
+	* Pod::PullParser -- made its filter() run as intended, like
+	Pod::Simple's filter.
+
+	* Pod::Subclassing -- more docs
+

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is for checking the syntactic validity of Pod.
+It works by basically acting like a simple-minded version of
+L<Pod::Simple::Text> that formats only the "Pod Errors" section
+(if Pod::Simple even generates one for the given document).
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all its methods.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::Debug -- put Pod::Simple into trace/debug mode
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Pod::Simple::Debug (5);  # or some integer
+
+Or:
+
+ my $debuglevel;
+ use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$debuglevel, 0);
+ ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
+  you don't want debug output from...
+
+ $debug_level = 4;
+ ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
+  you DO want debug output from...
+
+ $debug_level = 0;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is an internal module for controlling the debug level (a.k.a. trace
+level) of Pod::Simple.  This is of interest only to Pod::Simple
+developers.
+
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+Note that you should load this module I<before> loading Pod::Simple (or
+any Pod::Simple-based class).  If you try loading Pod::Simple::Debug
+after &Pod::Simple::DEBUG is already defined, Pod::Simple::Debug will
+throw a fatal error to the effect that
+"it's s too late to call Pod::Simple::Debug".
+
+Note that the C<use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$x, I<somenum>)> mode will make
+Pod::Simple (et al) run rather slower, since &Pod::Simple::DEBUG won't
+be a constant sub anymore, and so Pod::Simple (et al) won't compile with
+constant-folding.
+
+
+=head1 GUTS
+
+Doing this:
+
+  use Pod::Simple::Debug (5);  # or some integer
+
+is basically equivalent to:
+
+  BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () {5} }  # or some integer
+  use Pod::Simple ();
+
+And this:
+
+  use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$debug_level,0);  # or some integer
+
+is basically equivalent to this:
+
+  my $debug_level;
+  BEGIN { $debug_level = 0 }
+  BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () { $debug_level }
+  use Pod::Simple ();

+
+This class is for dumping, as text, the events gotten from parsing a Pod

+based on Pod::Simple. It is useful for seeing exactly what events you
+get out of some Pod that you feed in.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all its methods.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML -- turn Pod into XML
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::DumpAsXML -e \
+   "exit Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
+   thingy.pod
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> that parses Pod
+and turns it into indented and wrapped XML.  This class is of
+interest to people writing Pod formatters based on Pod::Simple.
+
+Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML inherits methods from
+L<Pod::Simple>.
+
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream> is rather like this class.
+Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream's output is space-padded in a way
+that's better for sending to an XML processor (that is, it has
+no ignoreable whitespace). But
+Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML's output is much more human-readable, being
+(more-or-less) one token per line, with line-wrapping.
+
+L<Pod::Simple::DumpAsText> is rather like this class,
+except that it doesn't dump with XML syntax.  Try them and see
+which one you like best!
+

+
+Pod::Simple::HTML - convert Pod to HTML
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go thingy.pod
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is for making an HTML rendering of a Pod document.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple::PullParser> and inherits all its
+methods (and options).
+
+Note that if you want to do a batch conversion of a lot of Pod
+documents to HTML, you should see the module L<Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch>.
+
+
+
+=head1 CALLING FROM THE COMMAND LINE
+
+TODO
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go Thing.pod Thing.html
+
+
+
+=head1 CALLING FROM PERL
+
+TODO   make a new object, set any options, and use parse_from_file
+
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+TODO
+all (most?) accessorized methods
+
+
+=head1 SUBCLASSING
+
+TODO
+
+ can just set any of:  html_css html_javascript title_prefix
+  'html_header_before_title',
+  'html_header_after_title',
+  'html_footer',
+
+maybe override do_pod_link
+
+maybe override do_beginning do_end
+
+
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<Pod::Simple>, L<Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch>
+
+
+TODO: a corpus of sample Pod input and HTML output?  Or common
+idioms?

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch - convert several Pod files to several HTML files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::HTMLBatch -e 'Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go' in out
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module is used for running batch-conversions of a lot of HTML
+documents 
+
+This class is NOT a subclass of Pod::Simple::HTML
+(nor of bad old Pod::Html) -- although it uses
+Pod::Simple::HTML for doing the conversion of each document.
+
+The normal use of this class is like so:
+
+  use Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch;
+  my $batchconv = Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch->new;
+  $batchconv->some_option( some_value );
+  $batchconv->some_other_option( some_other_value );
+  $batchconv->batch_convert( \@search_dirs, $output_dir );
+
+=head2 FROM THE COMMAND LINE
+
+Note that this class also provides
+(but does not export) the function Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go.
+This is basically just a shortcut for C<<
+Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch->batch_convert(@ARGV) >>.
+It's meant to be handy for calling from the command line.
+
+However, the shortcut requires that you specify exactly two command-line
+arguments, C<indirs> and C<outdir>.
+
+Example:
+
+  % mkdir out_html
+  % perl -MPod::Simple::HTMLBatch -e Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go @INC out_html
+      (to convert the pod from Perl's @INC
+       files under the directory ../htmlversion)
+
+(Note that the command line there contains a literal atsign-I-N-C.  This
+is handled as a special case by batch_convert, in order to save you having
+to enter the odd-looking "" as the first command-line parameter when you
+mean "just use whatever's in @INC".)
+
+Example:
+
+  % mkdir ../seekrut
+  % chmod og-rx ../seekrut
+  % perl -MPod::Simple::HTMLBatch -e Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go . ../htmlversion
+      (to convert the pod under the current dir into HTML
+       files under the directory ../htmlversion)
+
+Example:
+
+  % perl -MPod::Simple::HTMLBatch -e Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch::go happydocs .
+      (to convert all pod from happydocs into the current directory)
+
+
+
+=head1 MAIN METHODS
+
+=over
+
+=item $batchconv = Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch->new;
+
+This TODO
+
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( I<indirs>, I<outdir> );
+
+this TODO
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( undef    , ...);
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( q{@INC}, ...);
+
+These two values for I<indirs> specify that the normal Perl @INC
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( \@dirs , ...);
+
+This specifies that the input directories are the items in
+the arrayref C<\@dirs>.
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( "somedir" , ...);
+
+This specifies that the director "somedir" is the input.
+(This can be an absolute or relative path, it doesn't matter.)
+
+A common value you might want would be just "." for the current
+directory:
+
+     $batchconv->batch_convert( "." , ...);
+
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( 'somedir:someother:also' , ...);
+
+This specifies that you want the dirs "somedir", "somother", and "also"
+scanned, just as if you'd passed the arrayref
+C<[qw( somedir someother also)]>.  Note that a ":"-separator is normal
+under Unix, but Under MSWin, you'll need C<'somedir;someother;also'>
+instead, since the pathsep on MSWin is ";" instead of ":".  (And
+I<that> is because ":" often comes up in paths, like
+C<"c:/perl/lib">.)
+
+(Exactly what separator character should be used, is gotten from
+C<$Config::Config{'path_sep'}>, via the L<Config> module.)
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( ... , undef );
+
+This specifies that you want the HTML output to go into the current
+directory.
+
+(Note that a missing or undefined value means a different thing in
+the first slot than in the second.  That's so that C<batch_convert()>
+with no arguments (or undef arguments) means "go from @INC, into
+the current directory.)
+
+=item $batchconv->batch_convert( ... , 'somedir' );
+
+This specifies that you want the HTML output to go into the
+directory 'somedir'.
+(This can be an absolute or relative path, it doesn't matter.)
+
+=back
+
+
+Note that you can also call C<batch_convert> as a class method,
+like so:
+
+  Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch->batch_convert( ... );
+
+That is just short for this:
+
+  Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch-> new-> batch_convert(...);
+
+That is, it runs a conversion with default options, for
+whatever inputdirs and output dir you specify.
+
+
+=head2 ACCESSOR METHODS
+
+The following are all accessor methods -- that is, they don't do anything
+on their own, but just alter the contents of the conversion object,
+which comprises the options for this particular batch conversion.
+
+We show the "put" form of the accessors below (i.e., the syntax you use
+for setting the accessor to a specific value).  But you can also
+call each method with no parameters to get its current value.  For
+example, C<< $self->contents_file() >> returns the current value of
+the contents_file attribute.
+
+=over
+
+
+=item $batchconv->verbose( I<nonnegative_integer> );
+
+This controls how verbose to be during batch conversion, as far as
+notes to STDOUT (or whatever is C<select>'d) about how the conversion
+is going.  If 0, no progress information is printed.
+If 1 (the default value), some progress information is printed.
+Higher values print more information.
+
+
+=item $batchconv->index( I<true-or-false> );
+
+This controls whether or not each HTML page is liable to have a little
+table of contents at the top (which we call an "index" for historical
+reasons).  This is true by default.
+
+
+=item $batchconv->contents_file( I<filename> );
+
+If set, should be the name of a file (in the output directory)
+to write the HTML index to.  The default value is "index.html".
+If you set this to a false value, no contents file will be written.
+
+=item $batchconv->contents_page_start( I<HTML_string> );
+
+This specifies what string should be put at the beginning of
+the contents page.
+The default is a string more or less like this:
+  
+  <html>
+  <head><title>Perl Documentation</title></head>
+  <body class='contentspage'>
+  <h1>Perl Documentation</h1>
+
+=item $batchconv->contents_page_end( I<HTML_string> );
+
+This specifies what string should be put at the end of the contents page.
+The default is a string more or less like this:
+
+  <p class='contentsfooty'>Generated by
+  Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch v3.01 under Perl v5.008
+  <br >At Fri May 14 22:26:42 2004 GMT,
+  which is Fri May 14 14:26:42 2004 local time.</p>

+TODO
+
+=item $batchconv->add_javascript( $url );
+
+TODO
+
+=item $batchconv->css_flurry( I<true-or-false> );
+
+If true (the default value), we autogenerate some CSS files in the
+output directory, and set our HTML files to use those.
+TODO: continue
+
+=item $batchconv->javascript_flurry( I<true-or-false> );

+methods and options in this module (and the dozen modules it depends on)
+are undocumented; but one of those undocumented bits might be just what
+you're looking for.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ # a long story
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is not of interest to general users.
+
+Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the
+"section" attribute of "L" start-element events.  Most applications
+can just use the normal stringification of objects of this class;
+they stringify to just the text content of the section,
+such as "foo" for
+C<< LZ<><Stuff/foo> >>, and "bar" for 
+C<< LZ<><Stuff/bIZ<><ar>> >>.
+
+However, anyone particularly interested in getting the full value of
+the treelet, can just traverse the content of the treeleet
+@$treelet_object.  To wit:
+
+
+  % perl -MData::Dumper -e
+    "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);
+     sub start_L { print Dumper($_[1]{'section'} ) }
+     __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')
+    "
+Output:
+  $VAR1 = bless( [
+                   '',
+                   {},
+                   'b',
+                   bless( [
+                            'I',
+                            {},
+                            'ar'
+                          ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' ),
+                   'baz'
+                 ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' );
+  
+But stringify it and you get just the text content:
+
+  % perl -MData::Dumper -e
+    "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);
+     sub start_L { print Dumper( '' . $_[1]{'section'} ) }
+     __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')
+    "
+Output:
+  $VAR1 = 'barbaz';

+
+Pod::Simple::Methody -- turn Pod::Simple events into method calls
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ require 5;
+ use strict;
+ package SomePodFormatter;
+ use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);
+ 
+ sub handle_text {
+   my($self, $text) = @_;
+   ...
+ }
+ 
+ sub start_head1 {
+   my($self, $attrs) = @_;
+   ...
+ }
+ sub end_head1 {
+   my($self) = @_;
+   ...
+ }
+ 
+...and start_/end_ methods for whatever other events you want to catch.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is of
+interest to people writing Pod formatters based on Pod::Simple.
+
+This class (which is very small -- read the source) overrides
+Pod::Simple's _handle_element_start, _handle_text, and
+_handle_element_end methods so that parser events are turned into method
+calls. (Otherwise, this is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all
+its methods.)
+
+You can use this class as the base class for a Pod formatter/processor.
+
+=head1 METHOD CALLING
+
+When Pod::Simple sees a "=head1 Hi there", for example, it basically does
+this:
+
+  $parser->_handle_element_start( "head1", \%attributes );
+  $parser->_handle_text( "Hi there" );
+  $parser->_handle_element_end( "head1" );
+
+But if you subclass Pod::Simple::Methody, it will instead do this
+when it sees a "=head1 Hi there":
+
+  $parser->start_head1( \%attributes ) if $parser->can('start_head1');
+  $parser->handle_text( "Hi there" )   if $parser->can('handle_text');
+  $parser->end_head1()                 if $parser->can('end_head1');
+
+If Pod::Simple sends an event where the element name has a dash,
+period, or colon, the corresponding method name will have a underscore
+in its place.  For example, "foo.bar:baz" becomes start_foo_bar_baz
+and end_foo_bar_baz.
+
+See the source for Pod::Simple::Text for an example of using this class.

+Pod::Simple::PullParser -- a pull-parser interface to parsing Pod
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
+ $parser->set_source( "whatever.pod" );
+ $parser->run;
+
+Or:
+
+ my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
+ $parser->set_source( $some_filehandle_object );
+ $parser->run;
+
+Or:
+
+ my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
+ $parser->set_source( \$document_source );
+ $parser->run;
+
+Or:
+
+ my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
+ $parser->set_source( \@document_lines );
+ $parser->run;
+
+And elsewhere:
+
+ require 5;
+ package SomePodProcessor;
+ use strict;
+ use base qw(Pod::Simple::PullParser);
+ 
+ sub run {
+   my $self = shift;
+  Token:
+   while(my $token = $self->get_token) {
+     ...process each token...
+   }
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is for using Pod::Simple to build a Pod processor -- but
+one that uses an interface based on a stream of token objects,
+instead of based on events.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all its methods.
+
+A subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParser should define a C<run> method
+that calls C<< $token = $parser->get_token >> to pull tokens.
+
+See the source for Pod::Simple::RTF for an example of a formatter
+that uses Pod::Simple::PullParser.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over
+
+=item my $token = $parser->get_token
+
+This returns the next token object (which will be of a subclass of
+L<Pod::Simple::PullParserToken>), or undef if the parser-stream has hit
+the end of the document.
+
+=item $parser->unget_token( $token )
+
+=item $parser->unget_token( $token1, $token2, ... )
+
+This restores the token object(s) to the front of the parser stream.
+
+=back
+
+The source has to be set before you can parse anything.  The lowest-level
+way is to call C<set_source>:
+
+=over
+
+=item $parser->set_source( $filename )
+
+=item $parser->set_source( $filehandle_object )
+
+=item $parser->set_source( \$document_source )
+
+=item $parser->set_source( \@document_lines )
+
+=back
+
+Or you can call these methods, which Pod::Simple::PullParser has defined
+to work just like Pod::Simple's same-named methods:
+
+=over
+
+=item $parser->parse_file(...)
+
+=item $parser->parse_string_document(...)
+
+=item $parser->filter(...)
+
+=item $parser->parse_from_file(...)
+
+=back
+
+For those to work, the Pod-processing subclass of
+Pod::Simple::PullParser has to have defined a $parser->run method --
+so it is advised that all Pod::Simple::PullParser subclasses do so.
+See the Synopsis above, or the source for Pod::Simple::RTF.
+
+Authors of formatter subclasses might find these methods useful to
+call on a parser object that you haven't started pulling tokens
+from yet:
+
+=over
+
+=item my $title_string = $parser->get_title
+
+This tries to get the title string out of $parser, by getting some tokens,
+and scanning them for the title, and then ungetting them so that you can
+process the token-stream from the beginning.
+
+For example, suppose you have a document that starts out:
+
+  =head1 NAME
+  
+  Hoo::Boy::Wowza -- Stuff B<wow> yeah!
+
+$parser->get_title on that document will return "Hoo::Boy::Wowza --
+Stuff wow yeah!".
+
+In cases where get_title can't find the title, it will return empty-string
+("").
+
+=item my $title_string = $parser->get_short_title
+
+This is just like get_title, except that it returns just the modulename, if
+the title seems to be of the form "SomeModuleName -- description".
+
+For example, suppose you have a document that starts out:
+
+  =head1 NAME
+  
+  Hoo::Boy::Wowza -- Stuff B<wow> yeah!
+
+then $parser->get_short_title on that document will return
+"Hoo::Boy::Wowza".
+
+But if the document starts out:
+
+  =head1 NAME
+  
+  Hooboy, stuff B<wow> yeah!
+
+then $parser->get_short_title on that document will return "Hooboy,
+stuff wow yeah!".
+
+If the title can't be found, then get_short_title returns empty-string
+("").
+
+=item $author_name   = $parser->get_author
+
+This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of the
+"=head1 AUTHOR\n\nParagraph...\n" section, assuming that that section
+isn't terribly long.
+
+(This method tolerates "AUTHORS" instead of "AUTHOR" too.)
+
+=item $description_name = $parser->get_description
+
+This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of the
+"=head1 PARAGRAPH\n\nParagraph...\n" section, assuming that that section
+isn't terribly long.
+
+=item $version_block = $parser->get_version
+
+This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of
+the "=head1 VERSION\n\n[BIG BLOCK]\n" block.  Note that this does NOT
+return the module's C<$VERSION>!!
+
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+You don't actually I<have> to define a C<run> method.  If you're
+writing a Pod-formatter class, you should define a C<run> just so
+that users can call C<parse_file> etc, but you don't I<have> to.
+
+And if you're not writing a formatter class, but are instead just
+writing a program that does something simple with a Pod::PullParser
+object (and not an object of a subclass), then there's no reason to
+bother subclassing to add a C<run> method.

+This returns the text that this token holds.  For example, parsing

+if you want to get the "foo" out of the text-token, call C<< $token->text >>
+
+=item $token->text(I<somestring>)
+
+This changes the string that this token holds.  You probably won't need

+
+This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token holds.
+This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the potentially
+large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a verbatim block)
+as calling $token->text would do.
+
+Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like this:
+
+  for ( ${  $token->text_r  } ) {  # Aliases it with $_ !!
+  
+    s/ The / the /g; # just for example

+(or a subclass)...

+    $DEBUG and print "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+When you do $parser->get_token on a L<Pod::Simple::PullParser>, you should
+get an object of a subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParserToken.
+
+Subclasses will add methods, and will also inherit these methods:
+
+=over
+
+=item $token->type
+
+This returns the type of the token.  This will be either the string
+"start", the string "text", or the string "end".
+
+Once you know what the type of an object is, you then know what
+subclass it belongs to, and therefore what methods it supports.
+
+Yes, you could probably do the same thing with code like
+$token->isa('Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken'), but that's not so
+pretty as using just $token->type, or even the following shortcuts:
+
+=item $token->is_start
+
+This is a shortcut for C<< $token->type() eq "start" >>
+
+=item $token->is_text
+
+This is a shortcut for C<< $token->type() eq "text" >>
+
+=item $token->is_end
+
+This is a shortcut for C<< $token->type() eq "end" >>
+
+=item $token->dump
+
+This returns a handy stringified value of this object.  This
+is useful for debugging, as in:
+
+  while(my $token = $parser->get_token) {
+    $DEBUG and print "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";
+    ...
+  }
+

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::RTF -- format Pod as RTF
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::RTF -e \
+   "exit Pod::Simple::RTF->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
+   thingy.pod > thingy.rtf
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is a formatter that takes Pod and renders it as RTF, good for
+viewing/printing in MSWord, WordPad/write.exe, TextEdit, etc.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all its methods.
+
+=head1 FORMAT CONTROL ATTRIBUTES
+
+You can set these attributes on the parser object before you
+call C<parse_file> (or a similar method) on it:
+
+=over
+
+=item $parser->head1_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+=item $parser->head2_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+=item $parser->head3_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+=item $parser->head4_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+These methods set the size (in half-points, like 52 for 26-point)
+that these heading levels will appear as.
+
+=item $parser->codeblock_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+This method sets the size (in half-points, like 21 for 10.5-point)
+that codeblocks ("verbatim sections") will appear as.
+
+=item $parser->header_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+This method sets the size (in half-points, like 15 for 7.5-point)
+that the header on each page will appear in.  The header
+is usually just "I<modulename> p. I<pagenumber>".
+
+=item $parser->normal_halfpoint_size( I<halfpoint_integer> );
+
+This method sets the size (in half-points, like 26 for 13-point)
+that normal paragraphic text will appear in.
+
+=item $parser->no_proofing_exemptions( I<true_or_false> );
+
+Set this value to true if you don't want the formatter to try
+putting a hidden code on all Perl symbols (as best as it can
+notice them) that labels them as being not in English, and
+so not worth spellchecking.
+
+=item $parser->doc_lang( I<microsoft_decimal_language_code> )
+
+This sets the language code to tag this document as being in. By
+default, it is currently the value of the environment variable
+C<RTFDEFLANG>, or if that's not set, then the value
+1033 (for US English).
+
+Setting this appropriately is useful if you want to use the RTF
+to spellcheck, and/or if you want it to hyphenate right.
+
+Here are some notable values:
+
+  1033  US English
+  2057  UK English
+  3081  Australia English
+  4105  Canada English

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::Search - find POD documents in directory trees
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  use Pod::Simple::Search;
+  my $name2path = Pod::Simple::Search->new->limit_glob('LWP::*')->survey;
+  print "Looky see what I found: ",
+    join(' ', sort keys %$name2path), "\n";
+
+  print "LWPUA docs = ",
+    Pod::Simple::Search->new->find('LWP::UserAgent') || "?",
+    "\n";
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<Pod::Simple::Search> is a class that you use for running searches
+for Pod files.  An object of this class has several attributes
+(mostly options for controlling search options), and some methods
+for searching based on those attributes.
+
+The way to use this class is to make a new object of this class,
+set any options, and then call one of the search options
+(probably C<survey> or C<find>).  The sections below discuss the
+syntaxes for doing all that.
+
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+This class provides the one constructor, called C<new>.
+It takes no parameters:
+
+  use Pod::Simple::Search;
+  my $search = Pod::Simple::Search->new;
+
+=head1 ACCESSORS
+
+This class defines several methods for setting (and, occasionally,
+reading) the contents of an object. With two exceptions (discussed at
+the end of this section), these attributes are just for controlling the
+way searches are carried out.
+
+Note that each of these return C<$self> when you call them as
+C<< $self->I<whatever(value)> >>.  That's so that you can chain
+together set-attribute calls like this:
+
+  my $name2path =
+    Pod::Simple::Search->new
+    -> inc(0) -> verbose(1) -> callback(\&blab)
+    ->survey(@there);
+
+...which works exactly as if you'd done this:
+
+  my $search = Pod::Simple::Search->new;
+  $search->inc(0);
+  $search->verbose(1);
+  $search->callback(\&blab);
+  my $name2path = $search->survey(@there);
+
+=over
+
+=item $search->inc( I<true-or-false> );
+
+This attribute, if set to a true value, means that searches should
+implicitly add perl's I<@INC> paths. This
+automatically considers paths specified in the C<PERL5LIB> environment
+as this is prepended to I<@INC> by the Perl interpreter itself.
+This attribute's default value is B<TRUE>.  If you want to search
+only specific directories, set $self->inc(0) before calling
+$inc->survey or $inc->find.
+
+
+=item $search->verbose( I<nonnegative-number> );
+
+This attribute, if set to a nonzero positive value, will make searches output
+(via C<warn>) notes about what they're doing as they do it.
+This option may be useful for debugging a pod-related module.
+This attribute's default value is zero, meaning that no C<warn> messages
+are produced.  (Setting verbose to 1 turns on some messages, and setting
+it to 2 turns on even more messages, i.e., makes the following search(es)
+even more verbose than 1 would make them.)
+
+
+=item $search->limit_glob( I<some-glob-string> );
+
+This option means that you want to limit the results just to items whose
+podnames match the given glob/wildcard expression. For example, you
+might limit your search to just "LWP::*", to search only for modules
+starting with "LWP::*" (but not including the module "LWP" itself); or
+you might limit your search to "LW*" to see only modules whose (full)
+names begin with "LW"; or you might search for "*Find*" to search for
+all modules with "Find" somewhere in their full name. (You can also use
+"?" in a glob expression; so "DB?" will match "DBI" and "DBD".)
+
+
+=item $search->callback( I<\&some_routine> );
+
+This attribute means that every time this search sees a matching
+Pod file, it should call this callback routine.  The routine is called
+with two parameters: the current file's filespec, and its pod name.
+(For example: C<("/etc/perljunk/File/Crunk.pm", "File::Crunk")> would
+be in C<@_>.)
+
+The callback routine's return value is not used for anything.
+
+This attribute's default value is false, meaning that no callback
+is called.
+
+=item $search->laborious( I<true-or-false> );
+
+Unless you set this attribute to a true value, Pod::Search will 
+apply Perl-specific heuristics to find the correct module PODs quickly.
+This attribute's default value is true.  You won't normally need
+to set this to false.
+
+Specifically: Turning on this option will disable the heuristics for
+seeing only files with Perl-like extensions, omitting subdirectories
+that are numeric but do I<not> match the current Perl interpreter's
+version ID, suppressing F<site_perl> as a module hierarchy name, etc.
+
+
+=item $search->shadows( I<true-or-false> );
+
+Unless you set this attribute to a true value, Pod::Simple::Search will
+consider only the first file of a given modulename as it looks thru the
+specified directories; that is, with this option off, if
+Pod::Simple::Search has seen a C<somepathdir/Foo/Bar.pm> already in this
+search, then it won't bother looking at a C<somelaterpathdir/Foo/Bar.pm>
+later on in that search, because that file is merely a "shadow". But if
+you turn on C<< $self->shadows(1) >>, then these "shadow" files are
+inspected too, and are noted in the pathname2podname return hash.
+
+This attribute's default value is false; and normally you won't
+need to turn it on.
+
+
+=item $search->limit_re( I<some-regxp> );
+
+Setting this attribute (to a value that's a regexp) means that you want
+to limit the results just to items whose podnames match the given
+regexp. Normally this option is not needed, and the more efficient
+C<limit_glob> attribute is used instead.
+
+
+=item $search->dir_prefix( I<some-string-value> );
+
+Setting this attribute to a string value means that the searches should
+begin in the specified subdirectory name (like "Pod" or "File::Find",
+also expressable as "File/Find"). For example, the search option
+C<< $search->limit_glob("File::Find::R*") >>
+is the same as the combination of the search options
+C<< $search->limit_re("^File::Find::R") -> dir_prefix("File::Find") >>.
+
+Normally you don't need to know about the C<dir_prefix> option, but I
+include it in case it might prove useful for someone somewhere.
+
+(Implementationally, searching with limit_glob ends up setting limit_re
+and usually dir_prefix.)
+
+
+=item $search->progress( I<some-progress-object> );
+
+If you set a value for this attribute, the value is expected
+to be an object (probably of a class that you define) that has a 
+C<reach> method and a C<done> method.  This is meant for reporting
+progress during the search, if you don't want to use a simple
+callback.
+
+Normally you don't need to know about the C<progress> option, but I
+include it in case it might prove useful for someone somewhere.
+
+While a search is in progress, the progress object's C<reach> and
+C<done> methods are called like this:
+
+  # Every time a file is being scanned for pod:
+  $progress->reach($count, "Scanning $file");   ++$count;
+
+  # And then at the end of the search:
+  $progress->done("Noted $count Pod files total");
+
+Internally, we often set this to an object of class
+Pod::Simple::Progress.  That class is probably undocumented,
+but you may wish to look at its source.
+
+
+=item $name2path = $self->name2path;
+
+This attribute is not a search parameter, but is used to report the
+result of C<survey> method, as discussed in the next section.
+
+=item $path2name = $self->path2name;
+
+This attribute is not a search parameter, but is used to report the
+result of C<survey> method, as discussed in the next section.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 MAIN SEARCH METHODS
+
+Once you've actually set any options you want (if any), you can go
+ahead and use the following methods to search for Pod files
+in particular ways.
+
+
+=head2 C<< $search->survey( @directories ) >>
+
+The method C<survey> searches for POD documents in a given set of
+files and/or directories.  This runs the search according to the various
+options set by the accessors above.  (For example, if the C<inc> attribute
+is on, as it is by default, then the perl @INC directories are implicitly
+added to the list of directories (if any) that you specify.)
+
+The return value of C<survey> is two hashes:
+
+=over
+
+=item C<name2path>
+
+A hash that maps from each pod-name to the filespec (like
+"Stuff::Thing" => "/whatever/plib/Stuff/Thing.pm")
+
+=item C<path2name>
+
+A hash that maps from each Pod filespec to its pod-name (like
+"/whatever/plib/Stuff/Thing.pm" => "Stuff::Thing")
+
+=back
+
+Besides saving these hashes as the hashref attributes
+C<name2path> and C<path2name>, calling this function also returns
+these hashrefs.  In list context, the return value of
+C<< $search->survey >> is the list C<(\%name2path, \%path2name)>.
+In scalar context, the return value is C<\%name2path>.
+Or you can just call this in void context.
+
+Regardless of calling context, calling C<survey> saves
+its results in its C<name2path> and C<path2name> attributes.
+
+E.g., when searching in F<$HOME/perl5lib>, the file
+F<$HOME/perl5lib/MyModule.pm> would get the POD name I<MyModule>,
+whereas F<$HOME/perl5lib/Myclass/Subclass.pm> would be
+I<Myclass::Subclass>. The name information can be used for POD
+translators.
+
+Only text files containing at least one valid POD command are found.
+
+In verbose mode, a warning is printed if shadows are found (i.e., more
+than one POD file with the same POD name is found, e.g. F<CPAN.pm> in
+different directories).  This usually indicates duplicate occurrences of
+modules in the I<@INC> search path, which is occasionally inadvertent
+(but is often simply a case of a user's path dir having a more recent
+version than the system's general path dirs in general.)
+
+The options to this argument is a list of either directories that are
+searched recursively, or files.  (Usually you wouldn't specify files,
+but just dirs.)  Or you can just specify an empty-list, as in
+$name2path; with the
+C<inc> option on, as it is by default, teh
+
+The POD names of files are the plain basenames with any Perl-like
+extension (.pm, .pl, .pod) stripped, and path separators replaced by
+C<::>'s.
+
+Calling Pod::Simple::Search->search(...) is short for
+Pod::Simple::Search->new->search(...).  That is, a throwaway object
+with default attribute values is used.
+
+
+=head2 C<< $search->simplify_name( $str ) >>
+
+The method B<simplify_name> is equivalent to B<basename>, but also
+strips Perl-like extensions (.pm, .pl, .pod) and extensions like
+F<.bat>, F<.cmd> on Win32 and OS/2, or F<.com> on VMS, respectively.
+
+
+=head2 C<< $search->find( $pod ) >>
+
+=head2 C<< $search->find( $pod, @search_dirs ) >>
+
+Returns the location of a Pod file, given a Pod/module/script name
+(like "Foo::Bar" or "perlvar" or "perldoc"), and an idea of
+what files/directories to look in.
+It searches according to the various options set by the accessors above.
+(For example, if the C<inc> attribute is on, as it is by default, then
+the perl @INC directories are implicitly added to the list of
+directories (if any) that you specify.)
+
+This returns the full path of the first occurrence to the file.
+Package names (eg 'A::B') are automatically converted to directory
+names in the selected directory.  Additionally, '.pm', '.pl' and '.pod'
+are automatically appended to the search as required.
+(So, for example, under Unix, "A::B" is converted to "somedir/A/B.pm",
+"somedir/A/B.pod", or "somedir/A/B.pl", as appropriate.)
+
+If no such Pod file is found, this method returns undef.
+
+If any of the given search directories contains a F<pod/> subdirectory,
+then it is searched.  (That's how we manage to find F<perlfunc>,
+for example, which is usually in F<pod/perlfunc> in most Perl dists.)
+
+The C<verbose> and C<inc> attributes influence the behavior of this
+search; notably, C<inc>, if true, adds @INC I<and also
+$Config::Config{'scriptdir'}> to the list of directories to search.
+
+It is common to simply say C<< $filename = Pod::Simple::Search-> new 
+->find("perlvar") >> so that just the @INC (well, and scriptdir)
+directories are searched.  (This happens because the C<inc>
+attribute is true by default.)
+
+Calling Pod::Simple::Search->find(...) is short for
+Pod::Simple::Search->new->find(...).  That is, a throwaway object
+with default attribute values is used.
+
+
+=head2 C<< $self->contains_pod( $file ) >>
+
+Returns true if the supplied filename (not POD module) contains some Pod
+documentation.

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This class is of interest to people writing a Pod processor/formatter.
+
+This class takes Pod and parses it, returning a parse tree made just
+of arrayrefs, and hashrefs, and strings.
+
+This is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> and inherits all its methods.
+
+This class is inspired by XML::Parser's "Tree" parsing-style, although
+it doesn't use exactly the same LoL format.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+At the end of the parse, call C<< $parser->root >> to get the
+tree's top node.
+
+=head1 Tree Contents
+
+Every element node in the parse tree is represented by an arrayref of
+the form: C<[ I<elementname>, \%attributes, I<...subnodes...> ]>.
+See the example tree dump in the Synopsis, above.
+
+Every text node in the tree is represented by a simple (non-ref)
+string scalar.  So you can test C<ref($node)> to see whather you have
+an element node or just a text node.
+
+The top node in the tree is C<[ 'Document', \%attributes,
+I<...subnodes...> ]>

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document is about using Pod::Simple to write a Pod processor,
+generally a Pod formatter. If you just want to know about using an
+existing Pod formatter, instead see its documentation and see also the
+docs in L<Pod::Simple>.
+
+The zeroeth step in writing a Pod formatter is to make sure that there
+isn't already a decent one in CPAN. See L<http://search.cpan.org/>, and
+run a search on the name of the format you want to render to. Also
+consider joining the Pod People list
+L<http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=pod-people> and asking whether
+anyone has a formatter for that format -- maybe someone cobbled one
+together but just hasn't released it.
+
+The first step in writing a Pod processor is to read L<perlpodspec>,
+which contains notes information on writing a Pod parser (which has been
+largely taken care of by Pod::Simple), but also a lot of requirements
+and recommendations for writing a formatter.
+
+The second step is to actually learn the format you're planning to
+format to -- or at least as much as you need to know to represent Pod,
+which probably isn't much.
+
+The third step is to pick which of Pod::Simple's interfaces you want to
+use -- the basic interface via Pod::Simple or L<Pod::Simple::Methody> is
+event-based, sort of like L<HTML::Parser>'s interface, or sort of like
+L<XML::Parser>'s "Handlers" interface), but L<Pod::Simple::PullParser>
+provides a token-stream interface, sort of like L<HTML::TokeParser>'s
+interface; L<Pod::Simple::SimpleTree> provides a simple tree interface,
+rather like XML::Parser's "Tree" interface. Users familiar with
+XML-handling will find one of these styles relatively familiar; but if
+you would be even more at home with XML, there are classes that produce
+an XML representation of the Pod stream, notably
+L<Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream>; you can feed the output of such a class to
+whatever XML parsing system you are most at home with.
+
+The last step is to write your code based on how the events (or tokens,
+or tree-nodes, or the XML, or however you're parsing) will map to
+constructs in the output format. Also sure to consider how to escape
+text nodes containing arbitrary text, and also what to do with text
+nodes that represent preformatted text (from verbatim sections).

+=item events with an element_name of Document
+
+Parsing a document produces this event structure:
+
+  <Document start_line="543">
+    ...all events...
+  </Document>
+
+The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the first
+Pod directive in the document.
+
+If there is no Pod in the given document, then the 
+event structure will be this:
+
+  <Document contentless="1" start_line="543">
+  </Document>
+
+In that case, the value of the I<start_line> attribute will not be meaningful;
+under current implementations, it will probably be the line number of the
+last line in the file.
+
+=item events with an element_name of Para
+
+Parsing a plain (non-verbatim, non-directive, non-data) paragraph in
+a Pod document produces this event structure:
+
+    <Para start_line="543">
+      ...all events in this paragraph...
+    </Para>
+
+The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the start
+of the paragraph.
+
+For example, parsing this paragraph of Pod:
+
+  The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the
+  line number of the start of the paragraph.
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+    <Para start_line="129">
+      The value of the 
+      <I>
+        start_line
+      </I>
+       attribute will be the line number of the first Pod directive
+      in the document.
+    </Para>

+=item events with an element_name of B, C, F, or I.
+
+Parsing a BE<lt>...E<gt> formatting code (or of course any of its
+semantically identical syntactic variants
+S<BE<lt>E<lt> ... E<gt>E<gt>>,
+or S<BE<lt>E<lt>E<lt>E<lt> ... E<gt>E<gt>E<gt>E<gt>>, etc.)
+produces this event structure:
+
+      <B>
+        ...stuff...
+      </B>
+
+Currently, there are no attributes conveyed.
+
+Parsing C, F, or I codes produce the same structure, with only a
+different element name.
+
+If your parser object has been set to accept other formatting codes,
+then they will be presented like these B/C/F/I codes -- i.e., without
+any attributes.
+
+=item events with an element_name of S
+
+Normally, parsing an SE<lt>...E<gt> sequence produces this event
+structure, just as if it were a B/C/F/I code:
+
+      <S>
+        ...stuff...
+      </S>
+
+However, Pod::Simple (and presumably all derived parsers) offers the
+C<nbsp_for_S> option which, if enabled, will suppress all S events, and
+instead change all spaces in the content to non-breaking spaces. This is
+intended for formatters that output to a format that has no code that
+means the same as SE<lt>...E<gt>, but which has a code/character that
+means non-breaking space.
+
+=item events with an element_name of X
+
+Normally, parsing an XE<lt>...E<gt> sequence produces this event
+structure, just as if it were a B/C/F/I code:
+
+      <X>
+        ...stuff...
+      </X>
+
+However, Pod::Simple (and presumably all derived parsers) offers the
+C<nix_X_codes> option which, if enabled, will suppress all X events
+and ignore their content.  For formatters/processors that don't use
+X events, this is presumably quite useful.
+
+
+=item events with an element_name of L
+
+Because the LE<lt>...E<gt> is the most complex construct in the
+language, it should not surprise you that the events it generates are
+the most complex in the language. Most of complexity is hidden away in
+the attribute values, so for those of you writing a Pod formatter that
+produces a non-hypertextual format, you can just ignore the attributes
+and treat an L event structure like a formatting element that
+(presumably) doesn't actually produce a change in formatting.  That is,
+the content of the L event structure (as opposed to its
+attributes) is always what text should be displayed.
+
+There are, at first glance, three kinds of L links: URL, man, and pod.
+
+When a LE<lt>I<some_url>E<gt> code is parsed, it produces this event
+structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="that_url" type="url">
+    that_url
+  </L>
+
+The C<type="url"> attribute is always specified for this type of
+L code.
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/>
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/" type="url">
+    http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/
+  </L>
+
+When a LE<lt>I<manpage(section)>E<gt> code is parsed (and these are
+fairly rare and not terribly useful), it produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="manpage(section)" type="man">
+    manpage(section)
+  </L>
+
+The C<type="man"> attribute is always specified for this type of
+L code.
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<crontab(5)>
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="crontab(5)" type="man">
+    crontab(5)
+  </L>
+
+In the rare cases where a man page link has a specified, that text appears
+in a I<section> attribute. For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<crontab(5)/"ENVIRONMENT">
+
+will produce this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" section="ENVIRONMENT" to="crontab(5)" type="man">
+    "ENVIRONMENT" in crontab(5)
+  </L>
+
+In the rare case where the Pod document has code like
+LE<lt>I<sometext>|I<manpage(section)>E<gt>, then the I<sometext> will appear
+as the content of the element, the I<manpage(section)> text will appear
+only as the value of the I<to> attribute, and there will be no
+C<content-implicit="yes"> attribute (whose presence means that the Pod parser
+had to infer what text should appear as the link text -- as opposed to
+cases where that attribute is absent, which means that the Pod parser did
+I<not> have to infer the link text, because that L code explicitly specified
+some link text.)
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<hell itself!|crontab(5)>
+  
+will produce this event structure:
+
+  <L to="crontab(5)" type="man">
+    hell itself!
+  </L>
+
+The last type of L structure is for links to/within Pod documents. It is
+the most complex because it can have a I<to> attribute, I<or> a
+I<section> attribute, or both. The C<type="pod"> attribute is always
+specified for this type of L code.
+
+In the most common case, the simple case of a LE<lt>podpageE<gt> code
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="Net::Ping" type="pod">
+    podpage
+  </L>
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<Net::Ping>
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" to="Net::Ping" type="pod">
+    Net::Ping
+  </L>
+
+In cases where there is link-text explicitly specified, it
+is to be found in the content of the element (and not the
+attributes), just as with the LE<lt>I<sometext>|I<manpage(section)>E<gt>
+case discussed above.  For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<Perl Error Messages|perldiag>
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L to="perldiag" type="pod">
+    Perl Error Messages
+  </L>
+
+In cases of links to a section in the current Pod document,
+there is a I<section> attribute instead of a I<to> attribute.
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L</"Member Data">
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" section="Member Data" type="pod">
+    "Member Data"
+  </L>
+
+As another example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<the various attributes|/"Member Data">
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L section="Member Data" type="pod">
+    the various attributes
+  </L>
+
+In cases of links to a section in a different Pod document,
+there are both a I<section> attribute and a L<to> attribute.
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<perlsyn/"Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements">
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" section="Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" to="perlsyn" type="pod">
+    "Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" in perlsyn
+  </L>
+
+As another example, this Pod source:
+
+  L<SWITCH statements|perlsyn/"Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements">
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <L section="Basic BLOCKs and Switch Statements" to="perlsyn" type="pod">
+    SWITCH statements
+  </L>
+
+Incidentally, note that we do not distinguish between these syntaxes:
+
+  L</"Member Data">
+  L<"Member Data">
+  L</Member Data>
+  L<Member Data>    [deprecated syntax]
+
+That is, they all produce the same event structure, namely:
+
+  <L content-implicit="yes" section="Member Data" type="pod">
+    &#34;Member Data&#34;
+  </L>
+
+=item events with an element_name of E or Z
+
+While there are Pod codes EE<lt>...E<gt> and ZE<lt>E<gt>, these
+I<do not> produce any E or Z events -- that is, there are no such
+events as E or Z.
+
+=item events with an element_name of Verbatim
+
+When a Pod verbatim paragraph (AKA "codeblock") is parsed, it
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <Verbatim start_line="543" xml:space="preserve">
+    ...text...
+  </Verbatim>
+
+The value of the I<start_line> attribute will be the line number of the
+first line of this verbatim block.  The I<xml:space> attribute is always
+present, and always has the value "preserve".
+
+The text content will have tabs already expanded.
+
+
+=item events with an element_name of head1 .. head4
+
+When a "=head1 ..." directive is parsed, it produces this event
+structure:
+
+  <head1>
+    ...stuff...
+  </head1>
+
+For example, a directive consisting of this:
+
+  =head1 Options to C<new> et al.
+
+will produce this event structure:
+
+  <head1 start_line="543">
+    Options to 
+    <C>
+      new
+    </C>
+     et al.
+  </head1>
+
+"=head2" thru "=head4" directives are the same, except for the element
+names in the event structure.
+
+=item events with an element_name of over-bullet
+
+When an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
+a bulletted list, it will produce this event structure:
+
+  <over-bullet indent="4" start_line="543">
+    <item-bullet start_line="545">
+      ...Stuff...
+    </item-bullet>
+    ...more item-bullets...
+  </over-bullet>
+
+The value of the I<indent> attribute is whatever value is after the
+"=over" directive, as in "=over 8".  If no such value is specified
+in the directive, then the I<indent> attribute has the value "4".
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  =over
+
+  =item *
+
+  Stuff
+
+  =item *
+
+  Bar I<baz>!
+
+  =back
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <over-bullet indent="4" start_line="10">
+    <item-bullet start_line="12">
+      Stuff
+    </item-bullet>
+    <item-bullet start_line="14">
+      Bar <I>baz</I>!
+    </item-bullet>
+  </over-bullet>
+
+=item events with an element_name of over-number
+
+When an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
+a numbered list, it will produce this event structure:
+
+  <over-number indent="4" start_line="543">
+    <item-number number="1" start_line="545">
+      ...Stuff...
+    </item-number>
+    ...more item-number...
+  </over-bullet>
+
+This is like the "over-bullet" event structure; but note that the contents
+are "item-number" instead of "item-bullet", and note that they will have
+a "number" attribute, which some formatters/processors may ignore
+(since, for example, there's no need for it in HTML when producing
+an "<UL><LI>...</LI>...</UL>" structure), but which any processor may use.
+
+Note that the values for the I<number> attributes of "item-number"
+elements in a given "over-number" area I<will> start at 1 and go up by
+one each time.  If the Pod source doesn't follow that order (even though
+it really should should!), whatever numbers it has will be ignored (with
+the correct values being put in the I<number> attributes), and an error
+message might be issued to the user.
+
+=item events with an element_name of over-text
+
+These events are are somewhat unlike the other over-*
+structures, as far as what their contents are.  When
+an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where the items are
+a list of text "subheadings", it will produce this event structure:
+
+  <over-text indent="4" start_line="543">
+    <item-text>
+      ...stuff...
+    </item-text>
+    ...stuff (generally Para or Verbatim elements)...
+    <item-text>
+    ...more item-text and/or stuff...
+  </over-text>
+
+The I<indent> attribute is as with the other over-* events.
+
+For example, this Pod source:
+
+  =over
+  
+  =item Foo
+  
+  Stuff
+  
+  =item Bar I<baz>!
+  
+  Quux
+  
+  =back
+
+produces this event structure:
+
+  <over-text indent="4" start_line="20">
+    <item-text start_line="22">
+      Foo
+    </item-text>
+    <Para start_line="24">
+      Stuff
+    </Para>
+    <item-text start_line="26">
+      Bar
+        <I>
+          baz
+        </I>
+      !
+    </item-text>
+    <Para start_line="28">
+      Quux
+    </Para>
+  </over-text>
+
+
+
+=item events with an element_name of over-block
+
+These events are are somewhat unlike the other over-*
+structures, as far as what their contents are.  When
+an "=over ... Z<>=back" block is parsed where there are no items,
+it will produce this event structure:
+
+  <over-block indent="4" start_line="543">
+    ...stuff (generally Para or Verbatim elements)...
+  </over-block>
+
+The I<indent> attribute is as with the other over-* events.
+
+For example, this Pod source:

+  =over
+  
+  For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world

+  For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses

+=head1 More Pod::Simple Methods
+
+Pod::Simple provides a lot of methods that aren't generally interesting
+to the end user of an existing Pod formatter, but some of which you
+might find useful in writing a Pod formatter. They are listed below. The
+first several methods (the accept_* methods) are for declaring the
+capabilites of your parser, notably what C<=for I<targetname>> sections
+it's interested in, what extra NE<lt>...E<gt> codes it accepts beyond
+the ones described in the I<perlpod>.
+
+=over
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_targets( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+As the parser sees sections like:
+
+    =for html  <img src="fig1.jpg">
+
+or
+
+    =begin html
+
+      <img src="fig1.jpg">
+
+    =end html
+
+...the parser will ignore these sections unless your subclass has
+specified that it wants to see sections targetted to "html" (or whatever
+the formatter name is).
+
+If you want to process all sections, even if they're not targetted for you,
+call this before you start parsing:
+
+  $parser->accept_targets('*');
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_targets_as_text(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>
+
+This is like accept_targets, except that it specifies also that the
+content of sections for this target should be treated as Pod text even
+if the target name in "=for I<targetname>" doesn't start with a ":".
+
+At time of writing, I don't think you'll need to use this.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_codes( I<Codename>, I<Codename>...  ) >>
+
+This tells the parser that you accept additional formatting codes,
+beyond just the standard ones (I B C L F S X, plus the two weird ones
+you don't actually see in the parse tree, Z and E). For example, to also
+accept codes "N", "R", and "W":
+
+    $parser->accept_codes( qw( N R W ) );
+
+B<TODO: document how this interacts with =extend, and long element names>
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_data( I<directive_name> ) >>
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_verbatim( I<directive_name> ) >>
+
+=item C<< $parser->accept_directive_as_processed( I<directive_name> ) >>
+
+In the unlikely situation that you need to tell the parser that you will
+accept additional directives ("=foo" things), you need to first set the
+parset to treat its content as data (i.e., not really processed at
+all), or as verbatim (mostly just expanding tabs), or as processed text
+(parsing formatting codes like BE<lt>...E<gt>).
+
+For example, to accept a new directive "=method", you'd presumably
+use:
+
+    $parser->accept_directive_as_processed("method");
+
+so that you could have Pod lines like:
+
+    =method I<$whatever> thing B<um>
+
+Making up your own directives breaks compatibility with other Pod
+formatters, in a way that using "=for I<target> ..." lines doesn't;
+however, you may find this useful if you're making a Pod superset
+format where you don't need to worry about compatibility.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->nbsp_for_S( I<BOOLEAN> ); >>
+
+Setting this attribute to a true value (and by default it is false) will
+turn "SE<lt>...E<gt>" sequences into sequences of words separated by
+C<\xA0> (non-breaking space) characters. For example, it will take this:
+
+    I like S<Dutch apple pie>, don't you?
+
+and treat it as if it were:
+
+    I like DutchE<nbsp>appleE<nbsp>pie, don't you?
+
+This is handy for output formats that don't have anything quite like an
+"SE<lt>...E<gt>" code, but which do have a code for non-breaking space.
+
+There is currently no method for going the other way; but I can
+probably provide one upon request.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->version_report() >>
+
+This returns a string reporting the $VERSION value from your module (and
+its classname) as well as the $VERSION value of Pod::Simple.  Note that
+L<perlpodspec> requires output formats (wherever possible) to note
+this detail in a comment in the output format.  For example, for
+some kind of SGML output format:
+
+    print OUT "<!-- \n", $parser->version_report, "\n -->";
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->pod_para_count() >>
+
+This returns the count of Pod paragraphs seen so far.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->line_count() >>
+
+This is the current line number being parsed. But you might find the
+"line_number" event attribute more accurate, when it is present.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->nix_X_codes(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>
+
+This attribute, when set to a true value (and it is false by default)
+ignores any "XE<lt>...E<gt>" sequences in the document being parsed.
+Many formats don't actually use the content of these codes, so have
+no reason to process them.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->merge_text(  I<SOMEVALUE>  ) >>
+
+This attribute, when set to a true value (and it is false by default)
+makes sure that only one event (or token, or node) will be created
+for any single contiguous sequence of text.  For example, consider
+this somewhat contrived example:
+
+    I just LOVE Z<>hotE<32>apple pie!
+
+When that is parsed and events are about to be called on it, it may
+actually seem to be four different text events, one right after another:
+one event for "I just LOVE ", one for "hot", one for " ", and one for
+"apple pie!". But if you have merge_text on, then you're guaranteed
+that it will be fired as one text event:  "I just LOVE hot apple pie!".
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->code_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>
+
+This specifies code that should be called when a code line is seen
+(i.e., a line outside of the Pod).  Normally this is undef, meaning
+that no code should be called.  If you provide a routine, it should
+start out like this:
+
+    sub get_code_line {  # or whatever you'll call it
+      my($line, $line_number, $parser) = @_;
+      ...
+    }
+
+Note, however, that sometimes the Pod events aren't processed in exactly
+the same order as the code lines are -- i.e., if you have a file with
+Pod, then code, then more Pod, sometimes the code will be processed (via
+whatever you have code_handler call) before the all of the preceding Pod
+has been processed.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->cut_handler(  I<CODE_REF>  ) >>
+
+This is just like the code_handler attribute, except that it's for
+"=cut" lines, not code lines. The same caveats apply. "=cut" lines are
+unlikely to be interesting, but this is included for completeness.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->whine( I<linenumber>, I<complaint string> ) >>
+
+This notes a problem in the Pod, which will be reported to in the "Pod
+Errors" section of the document and/or send to STDERR, depending on the
+values of the attributes C<no_whining>, C<no_errata_section>, and
+C<complain_stderr>.
+
+=item C<< $parser->scream( I<linenumber>, I<complaint string> ) >>
+
+This notes an error like C<whine> does, except that it is not
+suppressable with C<no_whining>. This should be used only for very
+serious errors.
+
+
+=item C<< $parser->source_dead(1) >>
+
+This aborts parsing of the current document, by switching on the flag
+that indicates that EOF has been seen.  In particularly drastic cases,
+you might want to do this.  It's rather nicer than just calling
+C<die>!
+
+=item C<< $parser->hide_line_numbers( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+Some subclasses that indescriminately dump event attributes (well,
+except for ones beginning with "~") can use this object attribute for
+refraining to dump the "start_line" attribute.
+
+=item C<< $parser->no_whining( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+This attribute, if set to true, will suppress reports of non-fatal
+error messages.  The default value is false, meaning that complaints
+I<are> reported.  How they get reported depends on the values of
+the attributes C<no_errata_section> and C<complain_stderr>.
+
+=item C<< $parser->no_errata_section( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+This attribute, if set to true, will suppress generation of an errata
+section.  The default value is false -- i.e., an errata section will be
+generated.
+
+=item C<< $parser->complain_stderr( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+This attribute, if set to true will send complaints to STDERR.  The
+default value is false -- i.e., complaints do not go to STDERR.
+
+=item C<< $parser->bare_output( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+Some formatter subclasses use this as a flag for whether output should
+have prologue and epilogue code omitted. For example, setting this to
+true for an HTML formatter class should omit the
+"<html><head><title>...</title><body>..." prologue and the
+"</body></html>" epilogue.
+
+If you want to set this to true, you should probably also set
+C<no_whining> or at least C<no_errata_section> to true.
+
+=item C<< $parser->preserve_whitespace( I<SOMEVALUE> ) >>
+
+If you set this attribute to a true value, the parser will try to
+preserve whitespace in the output.  This means that such formatting
+conventions as two spaces after periods will be preserved by the parser.
+This is primarily useful for output formats that treat whitespace as
+significant (such as text or *roff, but not HTML).

+
+Chole
+
+ * 1 large red onion
+ * 2 tomatillos
+ * 4 or 5 roma tomatoes (optionally with the pulp discarded)
+ * 1 tablespoons chopped ginger root (or more, to taste)
+ * 2 tablespoons canola oil (or vegetable oil)
+ 
+ * 1 tablespoon garam masala
+ * 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, or to taste
+ * Salt, to taste (probably quite a bit)
+ * 2 (15-ounce) cans chick peas or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
+ * juice of one smallish lime
+ * a dash of balsamic vinegar (to taste)
+ * cooked rice, preferably long-grain white rice (whether plain,
+    basmati rice, jasmine rice, or even a mild pilaf)
+
+In a blender or food processor, puree the onions, tomatoes, tomatillos,
+and ginger root.  You can even do it with a Braun hand "mixer", if you
+chop things finer to start with, and work at it.
+
+In a saucepan set over moderate heat, warm the oil until hot.
+
+Add the puree and the balsamic vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally,
+for 20 to 40 minutes. (Cooking it longer will make it sweeter.)
+
+Add the Garam Masala, chili powder, and cook, stirring occasionally, for
+5 minutes.
+
+Add the salt and chick peas and cook, stirring, until heated through.
+
+Stir in the lime juice, and optionally one or two teaspoons of tahini.
+You can let it simmer longer, depending on how much softer you want the
+garbanzos to get.
+
+Serve over rice, like a curry.
+
+Yields 5 to 7 servings.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream -- turn Pod into XML
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MPod::Simple::XMLOutStream -e \
+   "exit Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
+   thingy.pod
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream is a subclass of L<Pod::Simple> that parses
+Pod and turns it into XML.
+
+Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream inherits methods from
+L<Pod::Simple>.
+
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML> is rather like this class; see its
+documentation for a discussion of the differences.
+
+L<Pod::Simple>, L<Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML>, L<Pod::SAX>
+
+L<Pod::Simple::Subclassing>
+
+The older (and possibly obsolete) libraries L<Pod::PXML>, L<Pod::XML>
+
+
+=head1 ABOUT EXTENDING POD
+
+TODO: An example or two of =extend, then point to Pod::Simple::Subclassing
+
+
+=head1 ASK ME!
+
+If you actually want to use Pod as a format that you want to render to
+XML (particularly if to an XML instance with more elements than normal
+Pod has), please email me (C<sburke@cpan.org>) and I'll probably have
+some recommendations.
+
+For reasons of concision and energetic laziness, some methods and
+options in this module (and the dozen modules it depends on) are
+undocumented; but one of those undocumented bits might be just what
+you're looking for.

+French-Latin-1 -- implicitly Latin-1 test document in French

+

+=head1 DESCRIPTION

+

+This is a test Pod document in Latin-1. Its content is the last two

+paragraphs of Baudelaire's I<Le Joujou du pauvre>.

+

+A travers ces barreaux symboliques séparant deux mondes, la grande route

+et le château, l'enfant pauvre montrait à l'enfant riche son propre

+joujou, que celui-ci examinait avidement comme un objet rare et inconnu.

+Or, ce joujou, que le petit souillon agaçait, agitait et secouait dans

+une boîte grillée, c'était un rat vivantE<160>! Les parents, par économie

+sans doute, avaient tiré le joujou de la vie elle-même. 

+

+Et les deux enfants se riaient l'un à l'autre fraternellement, avec des

+dents d'une I<égale> blancheur.

+=head1 NAME

+

+WŚRÓD NOCNEJ CISZY -- explicitly utf8 test document in Polish

+

+=head1 DESCRIPTION

+

+This is a test Pod document in UTF8.  Its content is the lyrics to

+the Polish Christmas carol "Wśród nocnej ciszy".

+

+Wśród nocnej ciszy głos się rozchodzi: /

+Wstańcie, pasterze, Bóg się nam rodzi! /

+Czym prędzej się wybierajcie, /

+Do Betlejem pospieszajcie /

+Przywitać Pana.

+

+Poszli, znaleźli Dzieciątko w żłobie /

+Z wszystkimi znaki danymi sobie. /

+Jako Bogu cześć Mu dali, /

+A witając zawołali /

+Z wielkiej radości:

+

+Ach, witaj Zbawco z dawno żądany, /

+Wiele tysięcy lat wyglądany /

+Na Ciebie króle, prorocy /

+Czekali, a TyÅ› tej nocy /

+Nam się objawił.

+

+I my czekamy na Ciebie, Pana, /

+A skoro przyjdziesz na głos kapłana, /

+Padniemy na twarz przed TobÄ…, /

+Wierząc, żeś jest pod osłoną /

+Chleba i wina.

+

+=head2 As Verbatim

+=head1 NAME
+
+README.cygwin - Perl for Cygwin
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+This document will help you configure, make, test and install Perl
+on Cygwin.  This document also describes features of Cygwin that will
+affect how Perl behaves at runtime.
+
+B<NOTE:> There are pre-built Perl packages available for Cygwin and a
+version of Perl is provided on the Cygwin CD.  If you do not need to
+customize the configuration, consider using one of these packages:
+
+  http://cygutils.netpedia.net/
+
+=head1 PREREQUISITES
+
+=head2 Cygwin = GNU+Cygnus+Windows (Don't leave UNIX without it)
+
+The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Win32
+platforms.  They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the UNIX
+system calls and environment these programs expect.  More information
+about this project can be found at:
+
+  http://www.cygwin.com/
+
+A recent net or commercial release of Cygwin is required.
+
+At the time this document was last updated, Cygwin 1.1.5 was current.
+
+B<NOTE:> At this point, minimal effort has been made to provide
+compatibility with old (beta) Cygwin releases.  The focus has been to
+provide a high quality release and not worry about working around old
+bugs.  If you wish to use Perl with Cygwin B20.1 or earlier, consider
+using perl5.005_03, which is available in source and binary form at
+C<http://cygutils.netpedia.net/>.  If there is significant demand,
+a patch kit can be developed to port back to earlier Cygwin versions.
+
+=head2 Cygwin Configuration
+
+While building Perl some changes may be necessary to your Cygwin setup so
+that Perl builds cleanly.  These changes are B<not> required for normal
+Perl usage.
+
+B<NOTE:> The binaries that are built will run on all Win32 versions.
+They do not depend on your host system (Win9x/WinME, WinNT/Win2K)
+or your Cygwin configuration (I<ntea>, I<ntsec>, binary/text mounts).
+The only dependencies come from hard-coded pathnames like C</usr/local>.
+However, your host system and Cygwin configuration will affect Perl's
+runtime behavior (see L</"TEST">).
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * C<PATH>
+
+Set the C<PATH> environment variable so that Configure finds the Cygwin
+versions of programs.  Any Windows directories should be removed or
+moved to the end of your C<PATH>.
+
+=item * I<nroff>
+
+If you do not have I<nroff> (which is part of the I<groff> package),
+Configure will B<not> prompt you to install I<man> pages.
+
+=item * Permissions
+
+On WinNT with either the I<ntea> or I<ntsec> C<CYGWIN> settings, directory
+and file permissions may not be set correctly.  Since the build process
+creates directories and files, to be safe you may want to run a `C<chmod
+-R +w *>' on the entire Perl source tree.
+
+Also, it is a well known WinNT "feature" that files created by a login
+that is a member of the I<Administrators> group will be owned by the
+I<Administrators> group.  Depending on your umask, you may find that you
+can not write to files that you just created (because you are no longer
+the owner).  When using the I<ntsec> C<CYGWIN> setting, this is not an
+issue because it "corrects" the ownership to what you would expect on
+a UNIX system.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CONFIGURE
+
+The default options gathered by Configure with the assistance of
+F<hints/cygwin.sh> will build a Perl that supports dynamic loading
+(which requires a shared F<libperl.dll>).
+
+This will run Configure and keep a record:
+
+  ./Configure 2>&1 | tee log.configure
+
+If you are willing to accept all the defaults run Configure with B<-de>.
+However, several useful customizations are available.
+
+=head2 Strip Binaries
+
+It is possible to strip the EXEs and DLLs created by the build process.
+The resulting binaries will be significantly smaller.  If you want the
+binaries to be stripped, you can either add a B<-s> option when Configure
+prompts you,
+
+  Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [none] -s
+  Any special flags to pass to gcc to use dynamic linking? [none] -s
+  Any special flags to pass to ld2 to create a dynamically loaded library?
+  [none] -s
+
+or you can edit F<hints/cygwin.sh> and uncomment the relevant variables
+near the end of the file.
+
+=head2 Optional Libraries
+
+Several Perl functions and modules depend on the existence of
+some optional libraries.  Configure will find them if they are
+installed in one of the directories listed as being used for library
+searches.  Pre-built packages for most of these are available at
+C<http://cygutils.netpedia.net/>.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * C<-lcrypt>
+
+The crypt package distributed with Cygwin is a Linux compatible 56-bit
+DES crypt port by Corinna Vinschen.
+
+Alternatively, the crypt libraries in GNU libc have been ported to Cygwin.
+
+The DES based Ultra Fast Crypt port was done by Alexey Truhan:
+
+  ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey/cw32crypt-dist-0.tgz
+
+NOTE: There are various export restrictions on DES implementations,
+see the glibc README for more details.
+
+The MD5 port was done by Andy Piper:
+
+  ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey/libcrypt.tgz
+
+=item * C<-lgdbm> (C<use GDBM_File>)
+
+GDBM is available for Cygwin.  GDBM's ndbm/dbm compatibility feature
+also makes C<NDBM_File> and C<ODBM_File> possible (although they add
+little extra value).
+
+NOTE: The ndbm/dbm emulations only completely work on NTFS partitions.
+
+=item * C<-ldb> (C<use DB_File>)
+
+BerkeleyDB is available for Cygwin.  Some details can be found in
+F<ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm>.
+
+NOTE: The BerkeleyDB library only completely works on NTFS partitions.
+
+=item * C<-lcygipc> (C<use IPC::SysV>)
+
+A port of SysV IPC is available for Cygwin.
+
+NOTE: This has B<not> been extensively tested.  In particular,
+C<d_semctl_semun> is undefined because it fails a Configure test
+and on Win9x the I<shm*()> functions seem to hang.  It also creates
+a compile time dependency because F<perl.h> includes F<<sys/ipc.h>>
+and F<<sys/sem.h>> (which will be required in the future when compiling
+CPAN modules).
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Configure-time Options
+
+The F<INSTALL> document describes several Configure-time options.  Some of
+these will work with Cygwin, others are not yet possible.  Also, some of
+these are experimental.  You can either select an option when Configure
+prompts you or you can define (undefine) symbols on the command line.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * C<-Uusedl>
+
+Undefining this symbol forces Perl to be compiled statically.
+
+=item * C<-Uusemymalloc>
+
+By default Perl uses the malloc() included with the Perl source.  If you
+want to force Perl to build with the system malloc() undefine this symbol.
+
+=item * C<-Dusemultiplicity>
+
+Multiplicity is required when embedding Perl in a C program and using
+more than one interpreter instance.  This works with the Cygwin port.
+
+=item * C<-Duseperlio>
+
+The PerlIO abstraction works with the Cygwin port.
+
+=item * C<-Duse64bitint>
+
+I<gcc> supports 64-bit integers.  However, several additional long long
+functions are necessary to use them within Perl (I<{strtol,strtoul}l>).
+These are B<not> yet available with Cygwin.
+
+=item * C<-Duselongdouble>
+
+I<gcc> supports long doubles (12 bytes).  However, several additional
+long double math functions are necessary to use them within Perl
+(I<{atan2,cos,exp,floor,fmod,frexp,isnan,log,modf,pow,sin,sqrt}l,strtold>).
+These are B<not> yet available with Cygwin.
+
+=item * C<-Dusethreads>
+
+POSIX threads are B<not> yet implemented in Cygwin.
+
+=item * C<-Duselargefiles>
+
+Although Win32 supports large files, Cygwin currently uses 32-bit integers
+for internal size and position calculations.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Suspicious Warnings
+
+You may see some messages during Configure that seem suspicious.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * I<dlsym()>
+
+I<ld2> is needed to build dynamic libraries, but it does not exist
+when dlsym() checking occurs (it is not created until `C<make>' runs).
+You will see the following message:
+
+  Checking whether your dlsym() needs a leading underscore ...
+  ld2: not found
+  I can't compile and run the test program.
+  I'm guessing that dlsym doesn't need a leading underscore.
+
+Since the guess is correct, this is not a problem.
+
+=item * Win9x and C<d_eofnblk>
+
+Win9x does not correctly report C<EOF> with a non-blocking read on a
+closed pipe.  You will see the following messages:
+
+  But it also returns -1 to signal EOF, so be careful!
+  WARNING: you can't distinguish between EOF and no data!
+
+  *** WHOA THERE!!! ***
+      The recommended value for $d_eofnblk on this machine was "define"!
+      Keep the recommended value? [y]
+
+At least for consistency with WinNT, you should keep the recommended
+value.
+
+=item * Compiler/Preprocessor defines
+
+The following error occurs because of the Cygwin C<#define> of
+C<_LONG_DOUBLE>:

+=head1 MAKE
+
+Simply run I<make> and wait:
+
+  make 2>&1 | tee log.make
+
+=head2 Warnings
+
+Warnings like these are normal:
+
+  warning: overriding commands for target <file>
+  warning: ignoring old commands for target <file>
+
+  dllwrap: no export definition file provided
+  dllwrap: creating one, but that may not be what you want
+
+=head2 ld2
+
+During `C<make>', I<ld2> will be created and installed in your $installbin
+directory (where you said to put public executables).  It does not
+wait until the `C<make install>' process to install the I<ld2> script,
+this is because the remainder of the `C<make>' refers to I<ld2> without
+fully specifying its path and does this from multiple subdirectories.
+The assumption is that $installbin is in your current C<PATH>.  If this
+is not the case `C<make>' will fail at some point.  If this happens,
+just manually copy I<ld2> from the source directory to somewhere in
+your C<PATH>.
+
+=head1 TEST
+
+There are two steps to running the test suite:
+
+  make test 2>&1 | tee log.make-test
+
+  cd t;./perl harness 2>&1 | tee ../log.harness
+
+The same tests are run both times, but more information is provided when
+running as `C<./perl harness>'.
+
+Test results vary depending on your host system and your Cygwin
+configuration.  If a test can pass in some Cygwin setup, it is always
+attempted and explainable test failures are documented.  It is possible
+for Perl to pass all the tests, but it is more likely that some tests
+will fail for one of the reasons listed below.
+
+=head2 File Permissions
+
+UNIX file permissions are based on sets of mode bits for
+{read,write,execute} for each {user,group,other}.  By default Cygwin
+only tracks the Win32 read-only attribute represented as the UNIX file
+user write bit (files are always readable, files are executable if they
+have a F<.{com,bat,exe}> extension or begin with C<#!>, directories are
+always readable and executable).  On WinNT with the I<ntea> C<CYGWIN>
+setting, the additional mode bits are stored as extended file attributes.
+On WinNT with the I<ntsec> C<CYGWIN> setting, permissions use the standard
+WinNT security descriptors and access control lists.  Without one of
+these options, these tests will fail:
+
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               5, 7, 9-10

+  op/stat.t             9, 20 (.tmp not an executable extension)
+
+=head2 Hard Links
+
+FAT partitions do not support hard links (whereas NTFS does), in which
+case Cygwin implements link() by copying the file.  On remote (network)
+drives Cygwin's stat() always sets C<st_nlink> to 1, so the link count
+for remote directories and files is not available.  In either case,
+these tests will fail:
+
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               4
+  op/stat.t             3
+
+=head2 Filetime Granularity
+
+On FAT partitions the filetime granularity is 2 seconds.  The following
+test will fail:

+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               18
+
+=head2 Tainting Checks
+
+When Perl is running in taint mode, C<$ENV{PATH}> is considered tainted
+and not used, so DLLs not in the default system directories will not
+be found.  While the tests are running you will see warnings popup from
+the system with messages like:
+
+  Win9x
+    Error Starting Program
+    A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found
+
+  WinNT
+    perl.exe - Unable to Locate DLL
+    The dynamic link library cygwin1.dll could not be found in the
+      specified path ...
+
+Just click OK and ignore them.  When running `C<make test>', 2 popups
+occur.  During `C<./perl harness>', 4 popups occur.  Also, these tests
+will fail:
+
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  op/taint.t            1, 3, 31, 37
+
+Alternatively, you can copy F<cygwin1.dll> into the directory where the
+tests run:
+
+  cp /bin/cygwin1.dll t
+
+or one of the Windows system directories (although, this is B<not>
+recommended).
+
+=head2 /etc/group
+
+Cygwin does not require F</etc/group>, in which case the F<op/grent.t>
+test will be skipped.  The check performed by F<op/grent.t> expects to
+see entries that use the members field, otherwise this test will fail:
+
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  op/grent.t            1
+
+=head2 Script Portability
+
+Cygwin does an outstanding job of providing UNIX-like semantics on top of
+Win32 systems.  However, in addition to the items noted above, there are
+some differences that you should know about.  This is a very brief guide
+to portability, more information can be found in the Cygwin documentation.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * Pathnames
+
+Cygwin pathnames can be separated by forward (F</>) or backward (F<\>)
+slashes.  They may also begin with drive letters (F<C:>) or Universal
+Naming Codes (F<//UNC>).  DOS device names (F<aux>, F<con>, F<prn>,
+F<com*>, F<lpt?>, F<nul>) are invalid as base filenames.  However, they
+can be used in extensions (e.g., F<hello.aux>).  Names may contain all
+printable characters except these:
+
+  : * ? " < > |
+
+File names are case insensitive, but case preserving.  A pathname that
+contains a backslash or drive letter is a Win32 pathname (and not subject
+to the translations applied to POSIX style pathnames).
+
+=item * Text/Binary
+
+When a file is opened it is in either text or binary mode.  In text mode
+a file is subject to CR/LF/Ctrl-Z translations.  With Cygwin, the default
+mode for an open() is determined by the mode of the mount that underlies
+the file.  Perl provides a binmode() function to set binary mode on files
+that otherwise would be treated as text.  sysopen() with the C<O_TEXT>
+flag sets text mode on files that otherwise would be treated as binary:
+
+    sysopen(FOO, "bar", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TEXT)
+
+lseek(), tell() and sysseek() only work with files opened in binary mode.
+
+The text/binary issue is covered at length in the Cygwin documentation.
+
+=item * F<.exe>
+
+The Cygwin stat(), lstat() and readlink() functions make the F<.exe>
+extension transparent by looking for F<foo.exe> when you ask for F<foo>
+(unless a F<foo> also exists).  Cygwin does not require a F<.exe>
+extension, but I<gcc> adds it automatically when building a program.
+However, when accessing an executable as a normal file (e.g., I<cp>
+in a makefile) the F<.exe> is not transparent.  The I<install> included
+with Cygwin automatically appends a F<.exe> when necessary.
+
+=item * chown()
+
+On WinNT chown() can change a file's user and group IDs.  On Win9x chown()
+is a no-op, although this is appropriate since there is no security model.
+
+=item * Miscellaneous
+
+File locking using the C<F_GETLK> command to fcntl() is a stub that
+returns C<ENOSYS>.
+
+Win9x can not rename() an open file (although WinNT can).
+
+The Cygwin chroot() implementation has holes (it can not restrict file
+access by native Win32 programs).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 INSTALL
+
+This will install Perl, including I<man> pages.
+
+  make install | tee log.make-install
+
+NOTE: If C<STDERR> is redirected `C<make install>' will B<not> prompt
+you to install I<perl> into F</usr/bin>.
+
+You may need to be I<Administrator> to run `C<make install>'.  If you
+are not, you must have write access to the directories in question.
+
+Information on installing the Perl documentation in HTML format can be
+found in the F<INSTALL> document.
+
+=head1 MANIFEST
+
+These are the files in the Perl release that contain references to Cygwin.
+These very brief notes attempt to explain the reason for all conditional
+code.  Hopefully, keeping this up to date will allow the Cygwin port to
+be kept as clean as possible.

+
+The I<ld2> script contains references to the source directory.  You should
+change these to $installbin after `C<make install>'.
+
+Support for swapping real and effective user and group IDs is incomplete.
+On WinNT Cygwin provides setuid(), seteuid(), setgid() and setegid().
+However, additional Cygwin calls for manipulating WinNT access tokens
+and security contexts are required.
+
+When building DLLs, `C<dllwrap --export-all-symbols>' is used to export
+global symbols.  It might be better to generate an explicit F<.def> file
+(see F<makedef.pl>).  Also, DLLs can now be build with `C<gcc -shared>'.

+NAME
+README.cygwin - Perl for Cygwin
+SYNOPSIS
+This document will help you configure, make, test and install Perl on Cygwin. This document also describes features of Cygwin that will affect how Perl behaves at runtime.
+NOTE: There are pre-built Perl packages available for Cygwin and a version of Perl is provided on the Cygwin CD. If you do not need to customize the configuration, consider using one of these packages:
+  http://cygutils.netpedia.net/
+PREREQUISITES
+Cygwin = GNU+Cygnus+Windows (Don't leave UNIX without it)
+The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Win32 platforms. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the UNIX system calls and environment these programs expect. More information about this project can be found at:
+  http://www.cygwin.com/
+A recent net or commercial release of Cygwin is required.
+At the time this document was last updated, Cygwin 1.1.5 was current.
+NOTE: At this point, minimal effort has been made to provide compatibility with old (beta) Cygwin releases. The focus has been to provide a high quality release and not worry about working around old bugs. If you wish to use Perl with Cygwin B20.1 or earlier, consider using perl5.005_03, which is available in source and binary form at http://cygutils.netpedia.net/. If there is significant demand, a patch kit can be developed to port back to earlier Cygwin versions.
+Cygwin Configuration
+While building Perl some changes may be necessary to your Cygwin setup so that Perl builds cleanly. These changes are not required for normal Perl usage.
+NOTE: The binaries that are built will run on all Win32 versions. They do not depend on your host system (Win9x/WinME, WinNT/Win2K) or your Cygwin configuration (ntea, ntsec, binary/text mounts). The only dependencies come from hard-coded pathnames like /usr/local. However, your host system and Cygwin configuration will affect Perl's runtime behavior (see "TEST").
+PATH
+Set the PATH environment variable so that Configure finds the Cygwin versions of programs. Any Windows directories should be removed or moved to the end of your PATH.
+nroff
+If you do not have nroff (which is part of the groff package), Configure will not prompt you to install man pages.
+Permissions
+On WinNT with either the ntea or ntsec CYGWIN settings, directory and file permissions may not be set correctly. Since the build process creates directories and files, to be safe you may want to run a `chmod -R +w *' on the entire Perl source tree.
+Also, it is a well known WinNT "feature" that files created by a login that is a member of the Administrators group will be owned by the Administrators group. Depending on your umask, you may find that you can not write to files that you just created (because you are no longer the owner). When using the ntsec CYGWIN setting, this is not an issue because it "corrects" the ownership to what you would expect on a UNIX system.
+CONFIGURE
+The default options gathered by Configure with the assistance of hints/cygwin.sh will build a Perl that supports dynamic loading (which requires a shared libperl.dll).
+This will run Configure and keep a record:
+  ./Configure 2>&1 | tee log.configure
+If you are willing to accept all the defaults run Configure with -de. However, several useful customizations are available.
+Strip Binaries
+It is possible to strip the EXEs and DLLs created by the build process. The resulting binaries will be significantly smaller. If you want the binaries to be stripped, you can either add a -s option when Configure prompts you,
+  Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [none] -s
+  Any special flags to pass to gcc to use dynamic linking? [none] -s
+  Any special flags to pass to ld2 to create a dynamically loaded library?
+  [none] -s
+or you can edit hints/cygwin.sh and uncomment the relevant variables near the end of the file.
+Optional Libraries
+Several Perl functions and modules depend on the existence of some optional libraries. Configure will find them if they are installed in one of the directories listed as being used for library searches. Pre-built packages for most of these are available at http://cygutils.netpedia.net/.
+-lcrypt
+The crypt package distributed with Cygwin is a Linux compatible 56-bit DES crypt port by Corinna Vinschen.
+Alternatively, the crypt libraries in GNU libc have been ported to Cygwin.
+The DES based Ultra Fast Crypt port was done by Alexey Truhan:
+  ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey/cw32crypt-dist-0.tgz
+NOTE: There are various export restrictions on DES implementations, see the glibc README for more details.
+The MD5 port was done by Andy Piper:
+  ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey/libcrypt.tgz
+-lgdbm (use GDBM_File)
+GDBM is available for Cygwin. GDBM's ndbm/dbm compatibility feature also makes NDBM_File and ODBM_File possible (although they add little extra value).
+NOTE: The ndbm/dbm emulations only completely work on NTFS partitions.
+-ldb (use DB_File)
+BerkeleyDB is available for Cygwin. Some details can be found in ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm.
+NOTE: The BerkeleyDB library only completely works on NTFS partitions.
+-lcygipc (use IPC::SysV)
+A port of SysV IPC is available for Cygwin.
+NOTE: This has not been extensively tested. In particular, d_semctl_semun is undefined because it fails a Configure test and on Win9x the shm*() functions seem to hang. It also creates a compile time dependency because perl.h includes <sys/ipc.h> and <sys/sem.h> (which will be required in the future when compiling CPAN modules).
+Configure-time Options
+The INSTALL document describes several Configure-time options. Some of these will work with Cygwin, others are not yet possible. Also, some of these are experimental. You can either select an option when Configure prompts you or you can define (undefine) symbols on the command line.
+-Uusedl
+Undefining this symbol forces Perl to be compiled statically.
+-Uusemymalloc
+By default Perl uses the malloc() included with the Perl source. If you want to force Perl to build with the system malloc() undefine this symbol.
+-Dusemultiplicity
+Multiplicity is required when embedding Perl in a C program and using more than one interpreter instance. This works with the Cygwin port.
+-Duseperlio
+The PerlIO abstraction works with the Cygwin port.
+-Duse64bitint
+gcc supports 64-bit integers. However, several additional long long functions are necessary to use them within Perl ({strtol,strtoul}l). These are not yet available with Cygwin.
+-Duselongdouble
+gcc supports long doubles (12 bytes). However, several additional long double math functions are necessary to use them within Perl ({atan2,cos,exp,floor,fmod,frexp,isnan,log,modf,pow,sin,sqrt}l,strtold). These are not yet available with Cygwin.
+-Dusethreads
+POSIX threads are not yet implemented in Cygwin.
+-Duselargefiles
+Although Win32 supports large files, Cygwin currently uses 32-bit integers for internal size and position calculations.
+Suspicious Warnings
+You may see some messages during Configure that seem suspicious.
+dlsym()
+ld2 is needed to build dynamic libraries, but it does not exist when dlsym() checking occurs (it is not created until `make' runs). You will see the following message:
+  Checking whether your dlsym() needs a leading underscore ...
+  ld2: not found
+  I can't compile and run the test program.
+  I'm guessing that dlsym doesn't need a leading underscore.
+Since the guess is correct, this is not a problem.
+Win9x and d_eofnblk
+Win9x does not correctly report EOF with a non-blocking read on a closed pipe. You will see the following messages:
+  But it also returns -1 to signal EOF, so be careful!
+  WARNING: you can't distinguish between EOF and no data!
+  *** WHOA THERE!!! ***
+      The recommended value for $d_eofnblk on this machine was "define"!
+      Keep the recommended value? [y]
+At least for consistency with WinNT, you should keep the recommended value.
+Compiler/Preprocessor defines
+The following error occurs because of the Cygwin #define of _LONG_DOUBLE:
+  Guessing which symbols your C compiler and preprocessor define...
+  try.c:<line#>: parse error
+This failure does not seem to cause any problems.
+MAKE
+Simply run make and wait:
+  make 2>&1 | tee log.make
+Warnings
+Warnings like these are normal:
+  warning: overriding commands for target <file>
+  warning: ignoring old commands for target <file>
+  dllwrap: no export definition file provided
+  dllwrap: creating one, but that may not be what you want
+ld2
+During `make', ld2 will be created and installed in your $installbin directory (where you said to put public executables). It does not wait until the `make install' process to install the ld2 script, this is because the remainder of the `make' refers to ld2 without fully specifying its path and does this from multiple subdirectories. The assumption is that $installbin is in your current PATH. If this is not the case `make' will fail at some point. If this happens, just manually copy ld2 from the source directory to somewhere in your PATH.
+TEST
+There are two steps to running the test suite:
+  make test 2>&1 | tee log.make-test
+  cd t;./perl harness 2>&1 | tee ../log.harness
+The same tests are run both times, but more information is provided when running as `./perl harness'.
+Test results vary depending on your host system and your Cygwin configuration. If a test can pass in some Cygwin setup, it is always attempted and explainable test failures are documented. It is possible for Perl to pass all the tests, but it is more likely that some tests will fail for one of the reasons listed below.
+File Permissions
+UNIX file permissions are based on sets of mode bits for {read,write,execute} for each {user,group,other}. By default Cygwin only tracks the Win32 read-only attribute represented as the UNIX file user write bit (files are always readable, files are executable if they have a .{com,bat,exe} extension or begin with #!, directories are always readable and executable). On WinNT with the ntea CYGWIN setting, the additional mode bits are stored as extended file attributes. On WinNT with the ntsec CYGWIN setting, permissions use the standard WinNT security descriptors and access control lists. Without one of these options, these tests will fail:
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               5, 7, 9-10
+  lib/anydbm.t          2
+  lib/db-btree.t        20
+  lib/db-hash.t         16
+  lib/db-recno.t        18
+  lib/gdbm.t            2

+  lib/sdbm.t            2
+  op/stat.t             9, 20 (.tmp not an executable extension)
+Hard Links
+FAT partitions do not support hard links (whereas NTFS does), in which case Cygwin implements link() by copying the file. On remote (network) drives Cygwin's stat() always sets st_nlink to 1, so the link count for remote directories and files is not available. In either case, these tests will fail:
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               4
+  op/stat.t             3
+Filetime Granularity
+On FAT partitions the filetime granularity is 2 seconds. The following test will fail:
+  Failed Test           List of failed
+  ------------------------------------
+  io/fs.t               18
+Tainting Checks
+When Perl is running in taint mode, $ENV{PATH} is considered tainted and not used, so DLLs not in the default system directories will not be found. While the tests are running you will see warnings popup from the system with messages like:
+  Win9x
+    Error Starting Program
+    A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found
+  WinNT
+    perl.exe - Unable to Locate DLL

+Script Portability
+Cygwin does an outstanding job of providing UNIX-like semantics on top of Win32 systems. However, in addition to the items noted above, there are some differences that you should know about. This is a very brief guide to portability, more information can be found in the Cygwin documentation.
+Pathnames
+Cygwin pathnames can be separated by forward (/) or backward (\) slashes. They may also begin with drive letters (C:) or Universal Naming Codes (//UNC). DOS device names (aux, con, prn, com*, lpt?, nul) are invalid as base filenames. However, they can be used in extensions (e.g., hello.aux). Names may contain all printable characters except these:
+  : * ? " < > |
+File names are case insensitive, but case preserving. A pathname that contains a backslash or drive letter is a Win32 pathname (and not subject to the translations applied to POSIX style pathnames).
+Text/Binary
+When a file is opened it is in either text or binary mode. In text mode a file is subject to CR/LF/Ctrl-Z translations. With Cygwin, the default mode for an open() is determined by the mode of the mount that underlies the file. Perl provides a binmode() function to set binary mode on files that otherwise would be treated as text. sysopen() with the O_TEXT flag sets text mode on files that otherwise would be treated as binary:
+    sysopen(FOO, "bar", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TEXT)
+lseek(), tell() and sysseek() only work with files opened in binary mode.
+The text/binary issue is covered at length in the Cygwin documentation.
+.exe
+The Cygwin stat(), lstat() and readlink() functions make the .exe extension transparent by looking for foo.exe when you ask for foo (unless a foo also exists). Cygwin does not require a .exe extension, but gcc adds it automatically when building a program. However, when accessing an executable as a normal file (e.g., cp in a makefile) the .exe is not transparent. The install included with Cygwin automatically appends a .exe when necessary.
+chown()
+On WinNT chown() can change a file's user and group IDs. On Win9x chown() is a no-op, although this is appropriate since there is no security model.
+Miscellaneous
+File locking using the F_GETLK command to fcntl() is a stub that returns ENOSYS.
+Win9x can not rename() an open file (although WinNT can).
+The Cygwin chroot() implementation has holes (it can not restrict file access by native Win32 programs).
+INSTALL
+This will install Perl, including man pages.
+  make install | tee log.make-install
+NOTE: If STDERR is redirected `make install' will not prompt you to install perl into /usr/bin.
+You may need to be Administrator to run `make install'. If you are not, you must have write access to the directories in question.
+Information on installing the Perl documentation in HTML format can be found in the INSTALL document.
+MANIFEST
+These are the files in the Perl release that contain references to Cygwin. These very brief notes attempt to explain the reason for all conditional code. Hopefully, keeping this up to date will allow the Cygwin port to be kept as clean as possible.

+=head1 NAME
+
+perlfaq3 - Programming Tools ($Revision: 1.38 $, $Date: 1999/05/23 16:08:30 $)
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This section of the FAQ answers questions related to programmer tools
+and programming support.
+
+=head2 How do I do (anything)?
+
+Have you looked at CPAN (see L<perlfaq2>)?  The chances are that
+someone has already written a module that can solve your problem.
+Have you read the appropriate man pages?  Here's a brief index:
+
+	Basics	        perldata, perlvar, perlsyn, perlop, perlsub
+	Execution	perlrun, perldebug
+	Functions	perlfunc
+	Objects		perlref, perlmod, perlobj, perltie
+	Data Structures	perlref, perllol, perldsc
+	Modules		perlmod, perlmodlib, perlsub
+	Regexes		perlre, perlfunc, perlop, perllocale
+	Moving to perl5	perltrap, perl
+	Linking w/C	perlxstut, perlxs, perlcall, perlguts, perlembed
+	Various 	http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FMTEYEWTK/index.html
+			(not a man-page but still useful)
+
+A crude table of contents for the Perl man page set is found in L<perltoc>.
+
+=head2 How can I use Perl interactively?
+
+The typical approach uses the Perl debugger, described in the
+perldebug(1) man page, on an ``empty'' program, like this:
+
+    perl -de 42
+
+Now just type in any legal Perl code, and it will be immediately
+evaluated.  You can also examine the symbol table, get stack
+backtraces, check variable values, set breakpoints, and other
+operations typically found in symbolic debuggers.
+
+=head2 Is there a Perl shell?
+
+In general, no.  The Shell.pm module (distributed with Perl) makes
+Perl try commands which aren't part of the Perl language as shell
+commands.  perlsh from the source distribution is simplistic and
+uninteresting, but may still be what you want.
+
+=head2 How do I debug my Perl programs?
+
+Have you tried C<use warnings> or used C<-w>?  They enable warnings 
+to detect dubious practices.
+
+Have you tried C<use strict>?  It prevents you from using symbolic
+references, makes you predeclare any subroutines that you call as bare
+words, and (probably most importantly) forces you to predeclare your
+variables with C<my>, C<our>, or C<use vars>.
+
+Did you check the return values of each and every system call?  The operating
+system (and thus Perl) tells you whether they worked, and if not
+why.
+
+  open(FH, "> /etc/cantwrite")
+    or die "Couldn't write to /etc/cantwrite: $!\n";
+
+Did you read L<perltrap>?  It's full of gotchas for old and new Perl
+programmers and even has sections for those of you who are upgrading
+from languages like I<awk> and I<C>.
+
+Have you tried the Perl debugger, described in L<perldebug>?  You can
+step through your program and see what it's doing and thus work out
+why what it's doing isn't what it should be doing.
+
+=head2 How do I profile my Perl programs?
+
+You should get the Devel::DProf module from the standard distribution
+(or separately on CPAN) and also use Benchmark.pm from the standard 
+distribution.  The Benchmark module lets you time specific portions of 
+your code, while Devel::DProf gives detailed breakdowns of where your 
+code spends its time.
+
+Here's a sample use of Benchmark:
+
+  use Benchmark;
+
+  @junk = `cat /etc/motd`;
+  $count = 10_000;
+
+  timethese($count, {
+            'map' => sub { my @a = @junk;
+			   map { s/a/b/ } @a;
+			   return @a
+			 },
+            'for' => sub { my @a = @junk;
+			   local $_;
+			   for (@a) { s/a/b/ };
+			   return @a },
+           });
+
+This is what it prints (on one machine--your results will be dependent
+on your hardware, operating system, and the load on your machine):
+
+  Benchmark: timing 10000 iterations of for, map...
+         for:  4 secs ( 3.97 usr  0.01 sys =  3.98 cpu)
+         map:  6 secs ( 4.97 usr  0.00 sys =  4.97 cpu)
+
+Be aware that a good benchmark is very hard to write.  It only tests the
+data you give it and proves little about the differing complexities
+of contrasting algorithms.
+
+=head2 How do I cross-reference my Perl programs?
+
+The B::Xref module, shipped with the new, alpha-release Perl compiler
+(not the general distribution prior to the 5.005 release), can be used
+to generate cross-reference reports for Perl programs.
+
+    perl -MO=Xref[,OPTIONS] scriptname.plx
+
+=head2 Is there a pretty-printer (formatter) for Perl?
+
+There is no program that will reformat Perl as much as indent(1) does
+for C.  The complex feedback between the scanner and the parser (this
+feedback is what confuses the vgrind and emacs programs) makes it
+challenging at best to write a stand-alone Perl parser.
+
+Of course, if you simply follow the guidelines in L<perlstyle>, you
+shouldn't need to reformat.  The habit of formatting your code as you
+write it will help prevent bugs.  Your editor can and should help you
+with this.  The perl-mode or newer cperl-mode for emacs can provide
+remarkable amounts of help with most (but not all) code, and even less
+programmable editors can provide significant assistance.  Tom swears
+by the following settings in vi and its clones:
+
+    set ai sw=4
+    map! ^O {^M}^[O^T
+
+Now put that in your F<.exrc> file (replacing the caret characters
+with control characters) and away you go.  In insert mode, ^T is
+for indenting, ^D is for undenting, and ^O is for blockdenting--
+as it were.  If you haven't used the last one, you're missing
+a lot.  A more complete example, with comments, can be found at
+http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/TOMC/scripts/toms.exrc.gz
+
+If you are used to using the I<vgrind> program for printing out nice code
+to a laser printer, you can take a stab at this using
+http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/misc/tips/working.vgrind.entry, but the
+results are not particularly satisfying for sophisticated code.
+
+The a2ps at http://www.infres.enst.fr/%7Edemaille/a2ps/ does lots of things
+related to generating nicely printed output of documents.
+
+=head2 Is there a ctags for Perl?
+
+There's a simple one at
+http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/TOMC/scripts/ptags.gz which may do
+the trick.  And if not, it's easy to hack into what you want.
+
+=head2 Is there an IDE or Windows Perl Editor?
+
+Perl programs are just plain text, so any editor will do.
+
+If you're on Unix, you already have an IDE--Unix itself.  The UNIX
+philosophy is the philosophy of several small tools that each do one
+thing and do it well.  It's like a carpenter's toolbox.
+

+For editors: if you're on Unix you probably have vi or a vi clone already,
+and possibly an emacs too, so you may not need to download anything.
+In any emacs the cperl-mode (M-x cperl-mode) gives you perhaps the
+best available Perl editing mode in any editor.

+
+nvi (http://www.bostic.com/vi/, available from CPAN in src/misc/) is
+yet another vi clone, unfortunately not available for Windows, but in
+UNIX platforms you might be interested in trying it out, firstly because
+strictly speaking it is not a vi clone, it is the real vi, or the new
+incarnation of it, and secondly because you can embed Perl inside it
+to use Perl as the scripting language.  nvi is not alone in this,
+though: at least also vim and vile offer an embedded Perl.

+
+MKS and U/WIN are commercial (U/WIN is free for educational and
+research purposes), Cygwin is covered by the GNU Public License (but
+that shouldn't matter for Perl use).  The Cygwin, MKS, and U/WIN all
+contain (in addition to the shells) a comprehensive set of standard
+UNIX toolkit utilities.
+
+If you're transferring text files between Unix and Windows using FTP
+be sure to transfer them in ASCII mode so the ends of lines are
+appropriately converted.
+
+On Mac OS the MacPerl Application comes with a simple 32k text editor
+that behaves like a rudimentary IDE.  In contrast to the MacPerl Application
+the MPW Perl tool can make use of the MPW Shell itself as an editor (with
+no 32k limit).

+OS X and BeOS respectively (http://www.hekkelman.com/).
+
+=head2 Where can I get Perl macros for vi?
+
+For a complete version of Tom Christiansen's vi configuration file,
+see http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/toms.exrc.gz ,
+the standard benchmark file for vi emulators.  The file runs best with nvi,
+the current version of vi out of Berkeley, which incidentally can be built
+with an embedded Perl interpreter--see http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/misc.
+
+=head2 Where can I get perl-mode for emacs?
+
+Since Emacs version 19 patchlevel 22 or so, there have been both a
+perl-mode.el and support for the Perl debugger built in.  These should
+come with the standard Emacs 19 distribution.
+
+In the Perl source directory, you'll find a directory called "emacs",
+which contains a cperl-mode that color-codes keywords, provides
+context-sensitive help, and other nifty things.
+
+Note that the perl-mode of emacs will have fits with C<"main'foo">
+(single quote), and mess up the indentation and highlighting.  You
+are probably using C<"main::foo"> in new Perl code anyway, so this
+shouldn't be an issue.
+
+=head2 How can I use curses with Perl?
+
+The Curses module from CPAN provides a dynamically loadable object
+module interface to a curses library.  A small demo can be found at the
+directory http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/rep;
+this program repeats a command and updates the screen as needed, rendering
+B<rep ps axu> similar to B<top>.
+
+=head2 How can I use X or Tk with Perl?
+
+Tk is a completely Perl-based, object-oriented interface to the Tk toolkit
+that doesn't force you to use Tcl just to get at Tk.  Sx is an interface
+to the Athena Widget set.  Both are available from CPAN.  See the
+directory http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-category/08_User_Interfaces/
+
+Invaluable for Perl/Tk programming are the Perl/Tk FAQ at
+http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/%7Epvhp/ptk/ptkTOC.html , the Perl/Tk Reference
+Guide available at
+http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/Stephen_O_Lidie/ , and the
+online manpages at
+http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/%7Eamundson/perl/perltk/toc.html .
+
+=head2 How can I generate simple menus without using CGI or Tk?
+
+The http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/SKUNZ/perlmenu.v4.0.tar.gz
+module, which is curses-based, can help with this.
+
+=head2 What is undump?
+
+See the next question on ``How can I make my Perl program run faster?''
+
+=head2 How can I make my Perl program run faster?
+
+The best way to do this is to come up with a better algorithm.  This
+can often make a dramatic difference.  Jon Bentley's book
+``Programming Pearls'' (that's not a misspelling!)  has some good tips
+on optimization, too.  Advice on benchmarking boils down to: benchmark
+and profile to make sure you're optimizing the right part, look for
+better algorithms instead of microtuning your code, and when all else
+fails consider just buying faster hardware.
+
+A different approach is to autoload seldom-used Perl code.  See the
+AutoSplit and AutoLoader modules in the standard distribution for
+that.  Or you could locate the bottleneck and think about writing just
+that part in C, the way we used to take bottlenecks in C code and
+write them in assembler.  Similar to rewriting in C,
+modules that have critical sections can be written in C (for instance, the
+PDL module from CPAN).
+
+In some cases, it may be worth it to use the backend compiler to
+produce byte code (saving compilation time) or compile into C, which
+will certainly save compilation time and sometimes a small amount (but
+not much) execution time.  See the question about compiling your Perl
+programs for more on the compiler--the wins aren't as obvious as you'd
+hope.
+
+If you're currently linking your perl executable to a shared I<libc.so>,
+you can often gain a 10-25% performance benefit by rebuilding it to
+link with a static libc.a instead.  This will make a bigger perl
+executable, but your Perl programs (and programmers) may thank you for
+it.  See the F<INSTALL> file in the source distribution for more
+information.
+
+Unsubstantiated reports allege that Perl interpreters that use sfio
+outperform those that don't (for I/O intensive applications).  To try
+this, see the F<INSTALL> file in the source distribution, especially
+the ``Selecting File I/O mechanisms'' section.
+
+The undump program was an old attempt to speed up your Perl program
+by storing the already-compiled form to disk.  This is no longer
+a viable option, as it only worked on a few architectures, and
+wasn't a good solution anyway.
+
+=head2 How can I make my Perl program take less memory?
+
+When it comes to time-space tradeoffs, Perl nearly always prefers to
+throw memory at a problem.  Scalars in Perl use more memory than
+strings in C, arrays take more than that, and hashes use even more.  While
+there's still a lot to be done, recent releases have been addressing
+these issues.  For example, as of 5.004, duplicate hash keys are
+shared amongst all hashes using them, so require no reallocation.
+
+In some cases, using substr() or vec() to simulate arrays can be
+highly beneficial.  For example, an array of a thousand booleans will
+take at least 20,000 bytes of space, but it can be turned into one
+125-byte bit vector--a considerable memory savings.  The standard
+Tie::SubstrHash module can also help for certain types of data
+structure.  If you're working with specialist data structures
+(matrices, for instance) modules that implement these in C may use
+less memory than equivalent Perl modules.
+
+Another thing to try is learning whether your Perl was compiled with
+the system malloc or with Perl's builtin malloc.  Whichever one it
+is, try using the other one and see whether this makes a difference.
+Information about malloc is in the F<INSTALL> file in the source
+distribution.  You can find out whether you are using perl's malloc by
+typing C<perl -V:usemymalloc>.
+
+=head2 Is it unsafe to return a pointer to local data?
+
+No, Perl's garbage collection system takes care of this.
+
+    sub makeone {
+	my @a = ( 1 .. 10 );
+	return \@a;
+    }
+
+    for $i ( 1 .. 10 ) {
+        push @many, makeone();
+    }
+
+    print $many[4][5], "\n";
+
+    print "@many\n";
+
+=head2 How can I free an array or hash so my program shrinks?
+
+You can't.  On most operating systems, memory allocated to a program
+can never be returned to the system.  That's why long-running programs
+sometimes re-exec themselves.  Some operating systems (notably,
+FreeBSD and Linux) allegedly reclaim large chunks of memory that is no
+longer used, but it doesn't appear to happen with Perl (yet).  The Mac
+appears to be the only platform that will reliably (albeit, slowly)
+return memory to the OS.
+
+We've had reports that on Linux (Redhat 5.1) on Intel, C<undef
+$scalar> will return memory to the system, while on Solaris 2.6 it
+won't.  In general, try it yourself and see.
+
+However, judicious use of my() on your variables will help make sure
+that they go out of scope so that Perl can free up that space for
+use in other parts of your program.  A global variable, of course, never
+goes out of scope, so you can't get its space automatically reclaimed,
+although undef()ing and/or delete()ing it will achieve the same effect.
+In general, memory allocation and de-allocation isn't something you can
+or should be worrying about much in Perl, but even this capability
+(preallocation of data types) is in the works.
+
+=head2 How can I make my CGI script more efficient?
+
+Beyond the normal measures described to make general Perl programs
+faster or smaller, a CGI program has additional issues.  It may be run
+several times per second.  Given that each time it runs it will need
+to be re-compiled and will often allocate a megabyte or more of system
+memory, this can be a killer.  Compiling into C B<isn't going to help
+you> because the process start-up overhead is where the bottleneck is.
+
+There are two popular ways to avoid this overhead.  One solution
+involves running the Apache HTTP server (available from
+http://www.apache.org/) with either of the mod_perl or mod_fastcgi
+plugin modules.
+
+With mod_perl and the Apache::Registry module (distributed with
+mod_perl), httpd will run with an embedded Perl interpreter which
+pre-compiles your script and then executes it within the same address
+space without forking.  The Apache extension also gives Perl access to
+the internal server API, so modules written in Perl can do just about
+anything a module written in C can.  For more on mod_perl, see
+http://perl.apache.org/
+
+With the FCGI module (from CPAN) and the mod_fastcgi
+module (available from http://www.fastcgi.com/) each of your Perl
+programs becomes a permanent CGI daemon process.
+
+Both of these solutions can have far-reaching effects on your system
+and on the way you write your CGI programs, so investigate them with
+care.
+
+See http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-category/15_World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI/ .
+
+A non-free, commercial product, ``The Velocity Engine for Perl'',
+(http://www.binevolve.com/ or http://www.binevolve.com/velocigen/ )
+might also be worth looking at.  It will allow you to increase the
+performance of your Perl programs, running programs up to 25 times
+faster than normal CGI Perl when running in persistent Perl mode or 4
+to 5 times faster without any modification to your existing CGI
+programs. Fully functional evaluation copies are available from the
+web site.
+
+=head2 How can I hide the source for my Perl program?
+
+Delete it. :-) Seriously, there are a number of (mostly
+unsatisfactory) solutions with varying levels of ``security''.
+
+First of all, however, you I<can't> take away read permission, because
+the source code has to be readable in order to be compiled and
+interpreted.  (That doesn't mean that a CGI script's source is
+readable by people on the web, though--only by people with access to
+the filesystem.)  So you have to leave the permissions at the socially
+friendly 0755 level.
+
+Some people regard this as a security problem.  If your program does
+insecure things and relies on people not knowing how to exploit those
+insecurities, it is not secure.  It is often possible for someone to
+determine the insecure things and exploit them without viewing the
+source.  Security through obscurity, the name for hiding your bugs
+instead of fixing them, is little security indeed.
+
+You can try using encryption via source filters (Filter::* from CPAN),
+but any decent programmer will be able to decrypt it.  You can try using
+the byte code compiler and interpreter described below, but the curious
+might still be able to de-compile it.  You can try using the native-code
+compiler described below, but crackers might be able to disassemble it.
+These pose varying degrees of difficulty to people wanting to get at
+your code, but none can definitively conceal it (true of every
+language, not just Perl).
+
+If you're concerned about people profiting from your code, then the
+bottom line is that nothing but a restrictive license will give you
+legal security.  License your software and pepper it with threatening
+statements like ``This is unpublished proprietary software of XYZ Corp.
+Your access to it does not give you permission to use it blah blah
+blah.''  We are not lawyers, of course, so you should see a lawyer if
+you want to be sure your license's wording will stand up in court.
+
+=head2 How can I compile my Perl program into byte code or C?
+
+Malcolm Beattie has written a multifunction backend compiler,
+available from CPAN, that can do both these things.  It is included
+in the perl5.005 release, but is still considered experimental.
+This means it's fun to play with if you're a programmer but not
+really for people looking for turn-key solutions.
+
+Merely compiling into C does not in and of itself guarantee that your
+code will run very much faster.  That's because except for lucky cases
+where a lot of native type inferencing is possible, the normal Perl
+run-time system is still present and so your program will take just as
+long to run and be just as big.  Most programs save little more than
+compilation time, leaving execution no more than 10-30% faster.  A few
+rare programs actually benefit significantly (even running several times
+faster), but this takes some tweaking of your code.
+
+You'll probably be astonished to learn that the current version of the
+compiler generates a compiled form of your script whose executable is
+just as big as the original perl executable, and then some.  That's
+because as currently written, all programs are prepared for a full
+eval() statement.  You can tremendously reduce this cost by building a
+shared I<libperl.so> library and linking against that.  See the
+F<INSTALL> podfile in the Perl source distribution for details.  If
+you link your main perl binary with this, it will make it minuscule.
+For example, on one author's system, F</usr/bin/perl> is only 11k in
+size!
+
+In general, the compiler will do nothing to make a Perl program smaller,
+faster, more portable, or more secure.  In fact, it can make your
+situation worse.  The executable will be bigger, your VM system may take
+longer to load the whole thing, the binary is fragile and hard to fix,
+and compilation never stopped software piracy in the form of crackers,
+viruses, or bootleggers.  The real advantage of the compiler is merely
+packaging, and once you see the size of what it makes (well, unless
+you use a shared I<libperl.so>), you'll probably want a complete
+Perl install anyway.
+
+=head2 How can I compile Perl into Java?
+
+You can also integrate Java and Perl with the
+Perl Resource Kit from O'Reilly and Associates.  See
+http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prkunix/ .
+
+Perl 5.6 comes with Java Perl Lingo, or JPL.  JPL, still in
+development, allows Perl code to be called from Java.  See jpl/README
+in the Perl source tree.
+
+=head2 How can I get C<#!perl> to work on [MS-DOS,NT,...]?
+
+For OS/2 just use
+
+    extproc perl -S -your_switches
+
+as the first line in C<*.cmd> file (C<-S> due to a bug in cmd.exe's
+`extproc' handling).  For DOS one should first invent a corresponding
+batch file and codify it in C<ALTERNATIVE_SHEBANG> (see the
+F<INSTALL> file in the source distribution for more information).
+
+The Win95/NT installation, when using the ActiveState port of Perl,
+will modify the Registry to associate the C<.pl> extension with the
+perl interpreter.  If you install another port, perhaps even building
+your own Win95/NT Perl from the standard sources by using a Windows port
+of gcc (e.g., with cygwin or mingw32), then you'll have to modify
+the Registry yourself.  In addition to associating C<.pl> with the
+interpreter, NT people can use: C<SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL> to let them
+run the program C<install-linux.pl> merely by typing C<install-linux>.
+
+Macintosh Perl programs will have the appropriate Creator and
+Type, so that double-clicking them will invoke the Perl application.
+
+I<IMPORTANT!>: Whatever you do, PLEASE don't get frustrated, and just
+throw the perl interpreter into your cgi-bin directory, in order to
+get your programs working for a web server.  This is an EXTREMELY big
+security risk.  Take the time to figure out how to do it correctly.
+
+=head2 Can I write useful Perl programs on the command line?
+
+Yes.  Read L<perlrun> for more information.  Some examples follow.
+(These assume standard Unix shell quoting rules.)
+
+    # sum first and last fields
+    perl -lane 'print $F[0] + $F[-1]' *
+
+    # identify text files
+    perl -le 'for(@ARGV) {print if -f && -T _}' *
+
+    # remove (most) comments from C program
+    perl -0777 -pe 's{/\*.*?\*/}{}gs' foo.c
+
+    # make file a month younger than today, defeating reaper daemons
+    perl -e '$X=24*60*60; utime(time(),time() + 30 * $X,@ARGV)' *
+
+    # find first unused uid
+    perl -le '$i++ while getpwuid($i); print $i'
+
+    # display reasonable manpath
+    echo $PATH | perl -nl -072 -e '
+	s![^/+]*$!man!&&-d&&!$s{$_}++&&push@m,$_;END{print"@m"}'
+
+OK, the last one was actually an Obfuscated Perl Contest entry. :-)
+
+=head2 Why don't Perl one-liners work on my DOS/Mac/VMS system?
+
+The problem is usually that the command interpreters on those systems
+have rather different ideas about quoting than the Unix shells under
+which the one-liners were created.  On some systems, you may have to
+change single-quotes to double ones, which you must I<NOT> do on Unix
+or Plan9 systems.  You might also have to change a single % to a %%.
+
+For example:
+
+    # Unix
+    perl -e 'print "Hello world\n"'
+
+    # DOS, etc.
+    perl -e "print \"Hello world\n\""
+
+    # Mac
+    print "Hello world\n"
+     (then Run "Myscript" or Shift-Command-R)
+
+    # VMS
+    perl -e "print ""Hello world\n"""
+
+The problem is that none of these examples are reliable: they depend on the
+command interpreter.  Under Unix, the first two often work. Under DOS,
+it's entirely possible that neither works.  If 4DOS was the command shell,
+you'd probably have better luck like this:
+
+  perl -e "print <Ctrl-x>"Hello world\n<Ctrl-x>""
+
+Under the Mac, it depends which environment you are using.  The MacPerl
+shell, or MPW, is much like Unix shells in its support for several
+quoting variants, except that it makes free use of the Mac's non-ASCII
+characters as control characters.
+
+Using qq(), q(), and qx(), instead of "double quotes", 'single
+quotes', and `backticks`, may make one-liners easier to write.
+
+There is no general solution to all of this.  It is a mess, pure and
+simple.  Sucks to be away from Unix, huh? :-)
+

+=head2 Where can I learn about CGI or Web programming in Perl?
+
+For modules, get the CGI or LWP modules from CPAN.  For textbooks,
+see the two especially dedicated to web stuff in the question on
+books.  For problems and questions related to the web, like ``Why
+do I get 500 Errors'' or ``Why doesn't it run from the browser right
+when it runs fine on the command line'', see these sources:

+
+=head2 Where can I learn about object-oriented Perl programming?
+
+A good place to start is L<perltoot>, and you can use L<perlobj>,
+L<perlboot>, and L<perlbot> for reference.  Perltoot didn't come out
+until the 5.004 release; you can get a copy (in pod, html, or
+postscript) from http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FMTEYEWTK/ .
+
+=head2 Where can I learn about linking C with Perl? [h2xs, xsubpp]
+
+If you want to call C from Perl, start with L<perlxstut>,
+moving on to L<perlxs>, L<xsubpp>, and L<perlguts>.  If you want to
+call Perl from C, then read L<perlembed>, L<perlcall>, and
+L<perlguts>.  Don't forget that you can learn a lot from looking at
+how the authors of existing extension modules wrote their code and
+solved their problems.
+
+=head2 I've read perlembed, perlguts, etc., but I can't embed perl in
+my C program; what am I doing wrong?
+
+Download the ExtUtils::Embed kit from CPAN and run `make test'.  If
+the tests pass, read the pods again and again and again.  If they
+fail, see L<perlbug> and send a bug report with the output of
+C<make test TEST_VERBOSE=1> along with C<perl -V>.
+
+=head2 When I tried to run my script, I got this message. What does it
+mean?
+
+A complete list of Perl's error messages and warnings with explanatory
+text can be found in L<perldiag>. You can also use the splain program
+(distributed with Perl) to explain the error messages:
+
+    perl program 2>diag.out
+    splain [-v] [-p] diag.out
+
+or change your program to explain the messages for you:
+
+    use diagnostics;
+
+or
+
+    use diagnostics -verbose;
+
+=head2 What's MakeMaker?
+
+This module (part of the standard Perl distribution) is designed to
+write a Makefile for an extension module from a Makefile.PL.  For more
+information, see L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.

+DESCRIPTION
+This section of the FAQ answers questions related to programmer tools and programming support.
+How do I do (anything)?
+Have you looked at CPAN (see perlfaq2)? The chances are that someone has already written a module that can solve your problem. Have you read the appropriate man pages? Here's a brief index:
+        Basics          perldata, perlvar, perlsyn, perlop, perlsub
+        Execution       perlrun, perldebug
+        Functions       perlfunc
+        Objects         perlref, perlmod, perlobj, perltie
+        Data Structures perlref, perllol, perldsc
+        Modules         perlmod, perlmodlib, perlsub
+        Regexes         perlre, perlfunc, perlop, perllocale
+        Moving to perl5 perltrap, perl
+        Linking w/C     perlxstut, perlxs, perlcall, perlguts, perlembed
+        Various         http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FMTEYEWTK/index.html
+                        (not a man-page but still useful)
+A crude table of contents for the Perl man page set is found in perltoc.
+How can I use Perl interactively?
+The typical approach uses the Perl debugger, described in the perldebug(1) man page, on an ``empty'' program, like this:
+    perl -de 42
+Now just type in any legal Perl code, and it will be immediately evaluated. You can also examine the symbol table, get stack backtraces, check variable values, set breakpoints, and other operations typically found in symbolic debuggers.
+Is there a Perl shell?
+In general, no. The Shell.pm module (distributed with Perl) makes Perl try commands which aren't part of the Perl language as shell commands. perlsh from the source distribution is simplistic and uninteresting, but may still be what you want.
+How do I debug my Perl programs?
+Have you tried use warnings or used -w? They enable warnings to detect dubious practices.
+Have you tried use strict? It prevents you from using symbolic references, makes you predeclare any subroutines that you call as bare words, and (probably most importantly) forces you to predeclare your variables with my, our, or use vars.
+Did you check the return values of each and every system call? The operating system (and thus Perl) tells you whether they worked, and if not why.
+  open(FH, "> /etc/cantwrite")
+    or die "Couldn't write to /etc/cantwrite: $!\n";
+Did you read perltrap? It's full of gotchas for old and new Perl programmers and even has sections for those of you who are upgrading from languages like awk and C.
+Have you tried the Perl debugger, described in perldebug? You can step through your program and see what it's doing and thus work out why what it's doing isn't what it should be doing.
+How do I profile my Perl programs?
+You should get the Devel::DProf module from the standard distribution (or separately on CPAN) and also use Benchmark.pm from the standard distribution. The Benchmark module lets you time specific portions of your code, while Devel::DProf gives detailed breakdowns of where your code spends its time.
+Here's a sample use of Benchmark:
+  use Benchmark;
+  @junk = `cat /etc/motd`;
+  $count = 10_000;
+  timethese($count, {
+            'map' => sub { my @a = @junk;
+                           map { s/a/b/ } @a;
+                           return @a
+                         },
+            'for' => sub { my @a = @junk;
+                           local $_;
+                           for (@a) { s/a/b/ };
+                           return @a },
+           });
+This is what it prints (on one machine--your results will be dependent on your hardware, operating system, and the load on your machine):
+  Benchmark: timing 10000 iterations of for, map...
+         for:  4 secs ( 3.97 usr  0.01 sys =  3.98 cpu)
+         map:  6 secs ( 4.97 usr  0.00 sys =  4.97 cpu)
+Be aware that a good benchmark is very hard to write. It only tests the data you give it and proves little about the differing complexities of contrasting algorithms.
+How do I cross-reference my Perl programs?
+The B::Xref module, shipped with the new, alpha-release Perl compiler (not the general distribution prior to the 5.005 release), can be used to generate cross-reference reports for Perl programs.
+    perl -MO=Xref[,OPTIONS] scriptname.plx
+Is there a pretty-printer (formatter) for Perl?
+There is no program that will reformat Perl as much as indent(1) does for C. The complex feedback between the scanner and the parser (this feedback is what confuses the vgrind and emacs programs) makes it challenging at best to write a stand-alone Perl parser.
+Of course, if you simply follow the guidelines in perlstyle, you shouldn't need to reformat. The habit of formatting your code as you write it will help prevent bugs. Your editor can and should help you with this. The perl-mode or newer cperl-mode for emacs can provide remarkable amounts of help with most (but not all) code, and even less programmable editors can provide significant assistance. Tom swears by the following settings in vi and its clones:
+    set ai sw=4
+    map! ^O {^M}^[O^T
+Now put that in your .exrc file (replacing the caret characters with control characters) and away you go. In insert mode, ^T is for indenting, ^D is for undenting, and ^O is for blockdenting-- as it were. If you haven't used the last one, you're missing a lot. A more complete example, with comments, can be found at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/TOMC/scripts/toms.exrc.gz
+If you are used to using the vgrind program for printing out nice code to a laser printer, you can take a stab at this using http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/misc/tips/working.vgrind.entry, but the results are not particularly satisfying for sophisticated code.
+The a2ps at http://www.infres.enst.fr/%7Edemaille/a2ps/ does lots of things related to generating nicely printed output of documents.
+Is there a ctags for Perl?
+There's a simple one at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/TOMC/scripts/ptags.gz which may do the trick. And if not, it's easy to hack into what you want.
+Is there an IDE or Windows Perl Editor?
+Perl programs are just plain text, so any editor will do.
+If you're on Unix, you already have an IDE--Unix itself. The UNIX philosophy is the philosophy of several small tools that each do one thing and do it well. It's like a carpenter's toolbox.
+If you want a Windows IDE, check the following:
+CodeMagicCD
+http://www.codemagiccd.com/
+Komodo
+ActiveState's cross-platform, multi-language IDE has Perl support, including a regular expression debugger and remote debugging (http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/Komodo/index.html). (Visual Perl, a Visual Studio.NET plug-in is currently (early 2001) in beta (http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/VisualPerl/index.html)).

+For editors: if you're on Unix you probably have vi or a vi clone already, and possibly an emacs too, so you may not need to download anything. In any emacs the cperl-mode (M-x cperl-mode) gives you perhaps the best available Perl editing mode in any editor.
+For Windows editors: you can download an Emacs

+For vi lovers in general, Windows or elsewhere: http://www.thomer.com/thomer/vi/vi.html.
+nvi (http://www.bostic.com/vi/, available from CPAN in src/misc/) is yet another vi clone, unfortunately not available for Windows, but in UNIX platforms you might be interested in trying it out, firstly because strictly speaking it is not a vi clone, it is the real vi, or the new incarnation of it, and secondly because you can embed Perl inside it to use Perl as the scripting language. nvi is not alone in this, though: at least also vim and vile offer an embedded Perl.
+The following are Win32 multilanguage editor/IDESs that support Perl:
+Codewright
+http://www.starbase.com/
+MultiEdit
+http://www.MultiEdit.com/
+SlickEdit
+http://www.slickedit.com/
+There is also a toyedit Text widget based editor written in Perl that is distributed with the Tk module on CPAN. The ptkdb (http://world.std.com/~aep/ptkdb/) is a Perl/tk based debugger that acts as a development environment of sorts. Perl Composer (http://perlcomposer.sourceforge.net/vperl.html) is an IDE for Perl/Tk GUI creation.
+In addition to an editor/IDE you might be interested in a more powerful shell environment for Win32. Your options include
+Bash
+from the Cygwin package (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/)
+Ksh
+from the MKS Toolkit (http://www.mks.com/), or the Bourne shell of the U/WIN environment (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/)
+Tcsh
+ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/tcsh/, see also http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/csh-tcsh-book/
+Zsh
+ftp://ftp.blarg.net/users/amol/zsh/, see also http://www.zsh.org/
+MKS and U/WIN are commercial (U/WIN is free for educational and research purposes), Cygwin is covered by the GNU Public License (but that shouldn't matter for Perl use). The Cygwin, MKS, and U/WIN all contain (in addition to the shells) a comprehensive set of standard UNIX toolkit utilities.
+If you're transferring text files between Unix and Windows using FTP be sure to transfer them in ASCII mode so the ends of lines are appropriately converted.
+On Mac OS the MacPerl Application comes with a simple 32k text editor that behaves like a rudimentary IDE. In contrast to the MacPerl Application the MPW Perl tool can make use of the MPW Shell itself as an editor (with no 32k limit).
+BBEdit and BBEdit Lite
+are text editors for Mac OS that have a Perl sensitivity mode (http://web.barebones.com/).
+Alpha
+is an editor, written and extensible in Tcl, that nonetheless has built in support for several popular markup and programming languages including Perl and HTML (http://alpha.olm.net/).
+Pepper and Pe are programming language sensitive text editors for Mac OS X and BeOS respectively (http://www.hekkelman.com/).
+Where can I get Perl macros for vi?
+For a complete version of Tom Christiansen's vi configuration file, see http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/toms.exrc.gz , the standard benchmark file for vi emulators. The file runs best with nvi, the current version of vi out of Berkeley, which incidentally can be built with an embedded Perl interpreter--see http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/misc.
+Where can I get perl-mode for emacs?
+Since Emacs version 19 patchlevel 22 or so, there have been both a perl-mode.el and support for the Perl debugger built in. These should come with the standard Emacs 19 distribution.
+In the Perl source directory, you'll find a directory called "emacs", which contains a cperl-mode that color-codes keywords, provides context-sensitive help, and other nifty things.
+Note that the perl-mode of emacs will have fits with "main'foo" (single quote), and mess up the indentation and highlighting. You are probably using "main::foo" in new Perl code anyway, so this shouldn't be an issue.
+How can I use curses with Perl?
+The Curses module from CPAN provides a dynamically loadable object module interface to a curses library. A small demo can be found at the directory http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/rep; this program repeats a command and updates the screen as needed, rendering rep ps axu similar to top.
+How can I use X or Tk with Perl?
+Tk is a completely Perl-based, object-oriented interface to the Tk toolkit that doesn't force you to use Tcl just to get at Tk. Sx is an interface to the Athena Widget set. Both are available from CPAN. See the directory http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-category/08_User_Interfaces/
+Invaluable for Perl/Tk programming are the Perl/Tk FAQ at http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/%7Epvhp/ptk/ptkTOC.html , the Perl/Tk Reference Guide available at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/Stephen_O_Lidie/ , and the online manpages at http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/%7Eamundson/perl/perltk/toc.html .
+How can I generate simple menus without using CGI or Tk?
+The http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/SKUNZ/perlmenu.v4.0.tar.gz module, which is curses-based, can help with this.
+What is undump?
+See the next question on ``How can I make my Perl program run faster?''
+How can I make my Perl program run faster?
+The best way to do this is to come up with a better algorithm. This can often make a dramatic difference. Jon Bentley's book ``Programming Pearls'' (that's not a misspelling!) has some good tips on optimization, too. Advice on benchmarking boils down to: benchmark and profile to make sure you're optimizing the right part, look for better algorithms instead of microtuning your code, and when all else fails consider just buying faster hardware.
+A different approach is to autoload seldom-used Perl code. See the AutoSplit and AutoLoader modules in the standard distribution for that. Or you could locate the bottleneck and think about writing just that part in C, the way we used to take bottlenecks in C code and write them in assembler. Similar to rewriting in C, modules that have critical sections can be written in C (for instance, the PDL module from CPAN).
+In some cases, it may be worth it to use the backend compiler to produce byte code (saving compilation time) or compile into C, which will certainly save compilation time and sometimes a small amount (but not much) execution time. See the question about compiling your Perl programs for more on the compiler--the wins aren't as obvious as you'd hope.
+If you're currently linking your perl executable to a shared libc.so, you can often gain a 10-25% performance benefit by rebuilding it to link with a static libc.a instead. This will make a bigger perl executable, but your Perl programs (and programmers) may thank you for it. See the INSTALL file in the source distribution for more information.
+Unsubstantiated reports allege that Perl interpreters that use sfio outperform those that don't (for I/O intensive applications). To try this, see the INSTALL file in the source distribution, especially the ``Selecting File I/O mechanisms'' section.
+The undump program was an old attempt to speed up your Perl program by storing the already-compiled form to disk. This is no longer a viable option, as it only worked on a few architectures, and wasn't a good solution anyway.
+How can I make my Perl program take less memory?
+When it comes to time-space tradeoffs, Perl nearly always prefers to throw memory at a problem. Scalars in Perl use more memory than strings in C, arrays take more than that, and hashes use even more. While there's still a lot to be done, recent releases have been addressing these issues. For example, as of 5.004, duplicate hash keys are shared amongst all hashes using them, so require no reallocation.
+In some cases, using substr() or vec() to simulate arrays can be highly beneficial. For example, an array of a thousand booleans will take at least 20,000 bytes of space, but it can be turned into one 125-byte bit vector--a considerable memory savings. The standard Tie::SubstrHash module can also help for certain types of data structure. If you're working with specialist data structures (matrices, for instance) modules that implement these in C may use less memory than equivalent Perl modules.
+Another thing to try is learning whether your Perl was compiled with the system malloc or with Perl's builtin malloc. Whichever one it is, try using the other one and see whether this makes a difference. Information about malloc is in the INSTALL file in the source distribution. You can find out whether you are using perl's malloc by typing perl -V:usemymalloc.
+Is it unsafe to return a pointer to local data?
+No, Perl's garbage collection system takes care of this.
+    sub makeone {
+        my @a = ( 1 .. 10 );
+        return \@a;
+    }
+    for $i ( 1 .. 10 ) {
+        push @many, makeone();
+    }
+    print $many[4][5], "\n";
+    print "@many\n";
+How can I free an array or hash so my program shrinks?
+You can't. On most operating systems, memory allocated to a program can never be returned to the system. That's why long-running programs sometimes re-exec themselves. Some operating systems (notably, FreeBSD and Linux) allegedly reclaim large chunks of memory that is no longer used, but it doesn't appear to happen with Perl (yet). The Mac appears to be the only platform that will reliably (albeit, slowly) return memory to the OS.
+We've had reports that on Linux (Redhat 5.1) on Intel, undef $scalar will return memory to the system, while on Solaris 2.6 it won't. In general, try it yourself and see.
+However, judicious use of my() on your variables will help make sure that they go out of scope so that Perl can free up that space for use in other parts of your program. A global variable, of course, never goes out of scope, so you can't get its space automatically reclaimed, although undef()ing and/or delete()ing it will achieve the same effect. In general, memory allocation and de-allocation isn't something you can or should be worrying about much in Perl, but even this capability (preallocation of data types) is in the works.
+How can I make my CGI script more efficient?
+Beyond the normal measures described to make general Perl programs faster or smaller, a CGI program has additional issues. It may be run several times per second. Given that each time it runs it will need to be re-compiled and will often allocate a megabyte or more of system memory, this can be a killer. Compiling into C isn't going to help you because the process start-up overhead is where the bottleneck is.
+There are two popular ways to avoid this overhead. One solution involves running the Apache HTTP server (available from http://www.apache.org/) with either of the mod_perl or mod_fastcgi plugin modules.
+With mod_perl and the Apache::Registry module (distributed with mod_perl), httpd will run with an embedded Perl interpreter which pre-compiles your script and then executes it within the same address space without forking. The Apache extension also gives Perl access to the internal server API, so modules written in Perl can do just about anything a module written in C can. For more on mod_perl, see http://perl.apache.org/
+With the FCGI module (from CPAN) and the mod_fastcgi module (available from http://www.fastcgi.com/) each of your Perl programs becomes a permanent CGI daemon process.
+Both of these solutions can have far-reaching effects on your system and on the way you write your CGI programs, so investigate them with care.
+See http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-category/15_World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI/ .
+A non-free, commercial product, ``The Velocity Engine for Perl'', (http://www.binevolve.com/ or http://www.binevolve.com/velocigen/ ) might also be worth looking at. It will allow you to increase the performance of your Perl programs, running programs up to 25 times faster than normal CGI Perl when running in persistent Perl mode or 4 to 5 times faster without any modification to your existing CGI programs. Fully functional evaluation copies are available from the web site.
+How can I hide the source for my Perl program?
+Delete it. :-) Seriously, there are a number of (mostly unsatisfactory) solutions with varying levels of ``security''.
+First of all, however, you can't take away read permission, because the source code has to be readable in order to be compiled and interpreted. (That doesn't mean that a CGI script's source is readable by people on the web, though--only by people with access to the filesystem.) So you have to leave the permissions at the socially friendly 0755 level.
+Some people regard this as a security problem. If your program does insecure things and relies on people not knowing how to exploit those insecurities, it is not secure. It is often possible for someone to determine the insecure things and exploit them without viewing the source. Security through obscurity, the name for hiding your bugs instead of fixing them, is little security indeed.
+You can try using encryption via source filters (Filter::* from CPAN), but any decent programmer will be able to decrypt it. You can try using the byte code compiler and interpreter described below, but the curious might still be able to de-compile it. You can try using the native-code compiler described below, but crackers might be able to disassemble it. These pose varying degrees of difficulty to people wanting to get at your code, but none can definitively conceal it (true of every language, not just Perl).
+If you're concerned about people profiting from your code, then the bottom line is that nothing but a restrictive license will give you legal security. License your software and pepper it with threatening statements like ``This is unpublished proprietary software of XYZ Corp. Your access to it does not give you permission to use it blah blah blah.'' We are not lawyers, of course, so you should see a lawyer if you want to be sure your license's wording will stand up in court.
+How can I compile my Perl program into byte code or C?
+Malcolm Beattie has written a multifunction backend compiler, available from CPAN, that can do both these things. It is included in the perl5.005 release, but is still considered experimental. This means it's fun to play with if you're a programmer but not really for people looking for turn-key solutions.
+Merely compiling into C does not in and of itself guarantee that your code will run very much faster. That's because except for lucky cases where a lot of native type inferencing is possible, the normal Perl run-time system is still present and so your program will take just as long to run and be just as big. Most programs save little more than compilation time, leaving execution no more than 10-30% faster. A few rare programs actually benefit significantly (even running several times faster), but this takes some tweaking of your code.
+You'll probably be astonished to learn that the current version of the compiler generates a compiled form of your script whose executable is just as big as the original perl executable, and then some. That's because as currently written, all programs are prepared for a full eval() statement. You can tremendously reduce this cost by building a shared libperl.so library and linking against that. See the INSTALL podfile in the Perl source distribution for details. If you link your main perl binary with this, it will make it minuscule. For example, on one author's system, /usr/bin/perl is only 11k in size!
+In general, the compiler will do nothing to make a Perl program smaller, faster, more portable, or more secure. In fact, it can make your situation worse. The executable will be bigger, your VM system may take longer to load the whole thing, the binary is fragile and hard to fix, and compilation never stopped software piracy in the form of crackers, viruses, or bootleggers. The real advantage of the compiler is merely packaging, and once you see the size of what it makes (well, unless you use a shared libperl.so), you'll probably want a complete Perl install anyway.
+How can I compile Perl into Java?
+You can also integrate Java and Perl with the Perl Resource Kit from O'Reilly and Associates. See http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prkunix/ .
+Perl 5.6 comes with Java Perl Lingo, or JPL. JPL, still in development, allows Perl code to be called from Java. See jpl/README in the Perl source tree.
+How can I get #!perl to work on [MS-DOS,NT,...]?
+For OS/2 just use
+    extproc perl -S -your_switches
+as the first line in *.cmd file (-S due to a bug in cmd.exe's `extproc' handling). For DOS one should first invent a corresponding batch file and codify it in ALTERNATIVE_SHEBANG (see the INSTALL file in the source distribution for more information).
+The Win95/NT installation, when using the ActiveState port of Perl, will modify the Registry to associate the .pl extension with the perl interpreter. If you install another port, perhaps even building your own Win95/NT Perl from the standard sources by using a Windows port of gcc (e.g., with cygwin or mingw32), then you'll have to modify the Registry yourself. In addition to associating .pl with the interpreter, NT people can use: SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL to let them run the program install-linux.pl merely by typing install-linux.
+Macintosh Perl programs will have the appropriate Creator and Type, so that double-clicking them will invoke the Perl application.
+IMPORTANT!: Whatever you do, PLEASE don't get frustrated, and just throw the perl interpreter into your cgi-bin directory, in order to get your programs working for a web server. This is an EXTREMELY big security risk. Take the time to figure out how to do it correctly.
+Can I write useful Perl programs on the command line?
+Yes. Read perlrun for more information. Some examples follow. (These assume standard Unix shell quoting rules.)
+    # sum first and last fields
+    perl -lane 'print $F[0] + $F[-1]' *
+    # identify text files
+    perl -le 'for(@ARGV) {print if -f && -T _}' *
+    # remove (most) comments from C program
+    perl -0777 -pe 's{/\*.*?\*/}{}gs' foo.c
+    # make file a month younger than today, defeating reaper daemons
+    perl -e '$X=24*60*60; utime(time(),time() + 30 * $X,@ARGV)' *
+    # find first unused uid
+    perl -le '$i++ while getpwuid($i); print $i'
+    # display reasonable manpath
+    echo $PATH | perl -nl -072 -e '
+        s![^/+]*$!man!&&-d&&!$s{$_}++&&push@m,$_;END{print"@m"}'
+OK, the last one was actually an Obfuscated Perl Contest entry. :-)
+Why don't Perl one-liners work on my DOS/Mac/VMS system?
+The problem is usually that the command interpreters on those systems have rather different ideas about quoting than the Unix shells under which the one-liners were created. On some systems, you may have to change single-quotes to double ones, which you must NOT do on Unix or Plan9 systems. You might also have to change a single % to a %%.
+For example:
+    # Unix
+    perl -e 'print "Hello world\n"'
+    # DOS, etc.
+    perl -e "print \"Hello world\n\""
+    # Mac
+    print "Hello world\n"
+     (then Run "Myscript" or Shift-Command-R)
+    # VMS
+    perl -e "print ""Hello world\n"""
+The problem is that none of these examples are reliable: they depend on the command interpreter. Under Unix, the first two often work. Under DOS, it's entirely possible that neither works. If 4DOS was the command shell, you'd probably have better luck like this:
+  perl -e "print <Ctrl-x>"Hello world\n<Ctrl-x>""
+Under the Mac, it depends which environment you are using. The MacPerl shell, or MPW, is much like Unix shells in its support for several quoting variants, except that it makes free use of the Mac's non-ASCII characters as control characters.
+Using qq(), q(), and qx(), instead of "double quotes", 'single quotes', and `backticks`, may make one-liners easier to write.
+There is no general solution to all of this. It is a mess, pure and simple. Sucks to be away from Unix, huh? :-)
+[Some of this answer was contributed by Kenneth Albanowski.]
+Where can I learn about CGI or Web programming in Perl?
+For modules, get the CGI or LWP modules from CPAN. For textbooks, see the two especially dedicated to web stuff in the question on books. For problems and questions related to the web, like ``Why do I get 500 Errors'' or ``Why doesn't it run from the browser right when it runs fine on the command line'', see these sources:

+Where can I learn about object-oriented Perl programming?
+A good place to start is perltoot, and you can use perlobj, perlboot, and perlbot for reference. Perltoot didn't come out until the 5.004 release; you can get a copy (in pod, html, or postscript) from http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FMTEYEWTK/ .
+Where can I learn about linking C with Perl? [h2xs, xsubpp]
+If you want to call C from Perl, start with perlxstut, moving on to perlxs, xsubpp, and perlguts. If you want to call Perl from C, then read perlembed, perlcall, and perlguts. Don't forget that you can learn a lot from looking at how the authors of existing extension modules wrote their code and solved their problems.
+I've read perlembed, perlguts, etc., but I can't embed perl in my C program; what am I doing wrong?
+Download the ExtUtils::Embed kit from CPAN and run `make test'. If the tests pass, read the pods again and again and again. If they fail, see perlbug and send a bug report with the output of make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 along with perl -V.
+When I tried to run my script, I got this message. What does it mean?
+A complete list of Perl's error messages and warnings with explanatory text can be found in perldiag. You can also use the splain program (distributed with Perl) to explain the error messages:
+    perl program 2>diag.out
+    splain [-v] [-p] diag.out
+or change your program to explain the messages for you:
+    use diagnostics;
+or
+    use diagnostics -verbose;
+What's MakeMaker?
+This module (part of the standard Perl distribution) is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module from a Makefile.PL. For more information, see ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

+=head1 NAME
+
+perlvar - Perl predefined variables
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+=head2 Predefined Names
+
+The following names have special meaning to Perl.  Most 
+punctuation names have reasonable mnemonics, or analogs in the
+shells.  Nevertheless, if you wish to use long variable names,
+you need only say
+
+    use English;
+
+at the top of your program.  This will alias all the short names to the
+long names in the current package.  Some even have medium names,
+generally borrowed from B<awk>.
+
+If you don't mind the performance hit, variables that depend on the
+currently selected filehandle may instead be set by calling an
+appropriate object method on the IO::Handle object.  (Summary lines
+below for this contain the word HANDLE.)  First you must say
+
+    use IO::Handle;
+
+after which you may use either
+
+    method HANDLE EXPR
+
+or more safely,
+
+    HANDLE->method(EXPR)
+
+Each method returns the old value of the IO::Handle attribute.
+The methods each take an optional EXPR, which if supplied specifies the
+new value for the IO::Handle attribute in question.  If not supplied,
+most methods do nothing to the current value--except for
+autoflush(), which will assume a 1 for you, just to be different.
+Because loading in the IO::Handle class is an expensive operation, you should
+learn how to use the regular built-in variables.
+
+A few of these variables are considered "read-only".  This means that if
+you try to assign to this variable, either directly or indirectly through
+a reference, you'll raise a run-time exception.
+
+The following list is ordered by scalar variables first, then the
+arrays, then the hashes.
+
+=over 8
+
+=item $ARG
+
+=item $_
+
+The default input and pattern-searching space.  The following pairs are
+equivalent:
+
+    while (<>) {...}	# equivalent only in while!
+    while (defined($_ = <>)) {...}
+
+    /^Subject:/
+    $_ =~ /^Subject:/
+
+    tr/a-z/A-Z/
+    $_ =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/
+
+    chomp
+    chomp($_)
+
+Here are the places where Perl will assume $_ even if you
+don't use it:
+
+=over 3
+
+=item *
+
+Various unary functions, including functions like ord() and int(), as well
+as the all file tests (C<-f>, C<-d>) except for C<-t>, which defaults to
+STDIN.
+
+=item *
+
+Various list functions like print() and unlink().
+
+=item *
+
+The pattern matching operations C<m//>, C<s///>, and C<tr///> when used
+without an C<=~> operator.
+

+
+The default iterator variable in a C<foreach> loop if no other
+variable is supplied.
+

+
+The implicit iterator variable in the grep() and map() functions.
+
+=item *
+
+The default place to put an input record when a C<< <FH> >>
+operation's result is tested by itself as the sole criterion of a C<while>
+test.  Outside a C<while> test, this will not happen.
+
+=back
+
+(Mnemonic: underline is understood in certain operations.)
+
+=back
+
+=over 8
+
+=item $<I<digits>>
+
+Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of capturing
+parentheses from the last pattern match, not counting patterns
+matched in nested blocks that have been exited already.  (Mnemonic:
+like \digits.)  These variables are all read-only and dynamically
+scoped to the current BLOCK.
+
+=item $MATCH
+
+=item $&
+
+The string matched by the last successful pattern match (not counting
+any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval() enclosed by the current
+BLOCK).  (Mnemonic: like & in some editors.)  This variable is read-only
+and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable
+performance penalty on all regular expression matches.  See L<BUGS>.
+
+=item $PREMATCH
+
+=item $`
+
+The string preceding whatever was matched by the last successful
+pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval
+enclosed by the current BLOCK).  (Mnemonic: C<`> often precedes a quoted
+string.)  This variable is read-only.
+
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable
+performance penalty on all regular expression matches.  See L<BUGS>.
+
+=item $POSTMATCH
+
+=item $'
+
+The string following whatever was matched by the last successful
+pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval()
+enclosed by the current BLOCK).  (Mnemonic: C<'> often follows a quoted
+string.)  Example:
+
+    $_ = 'abcdefghi';
+    /def/;
+    print "$`:$&:$'\n";  	# prints abc:def:ghi
+
+This variable is read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable
+performance penalty on all regular expression matches.  See L<BUGS>.
+
+=item $LAST_PAREN_MATCH
+
+=item $+
+
+The last bracket matched by the last search pattern.  This is useful if
+you don't know which one of a set of alternative patterns matched.  For
+example:
+
+    /Version: (.*)|Revision: (.*)/ && ($rev = $+);
+
+(Mnemonic: be positive and forward looking.)
+This variable is read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+
+=item @LAST_MATCH_END
+
+=item @+
+
+This array holds the offsets of the ends of the last successful
+submatches in the currently active dynamic scope.  C<$+[0]> is
+the offset into the string of the end of the entire match.  This
+is the same value as what the C<pos> function returns when called
+on the variable that was matched against.  The I<n>th element
+of this array holds the offset of the I<n>th submatch, so
+C<$+[1]> is the offset past where $1 ends, C<$+[2]> the offset
+past where $2 ends, and so on.  You can use C<$#+> to determine
+how many subgroups were in the last successful match.  See the
+examples given for the C<@-> variable.
+
+=item $MULTILINE_MATCHING
+
+=item $*
+
+Set to a non-zero integer value to do multi-line matching within a
+string, 0 (or undefined) to tell Perl that it can assume that strings
+contain a single line, for the purpose of optimizing pattern matches.
+Pattern matches on strings containing multiple newlines can produce
+confusing results when C<$*> is 0 or undefined. Default is undefined.
+(Mnemonic: * matches multiple things.) This variable influences the
+interpretation of only C<^> and C<$>. A literal newline can be searched
+for even when C<$* == 0>.
+
+Use of C<$*> is deprecated in modern Perl, supplanted by 
+the C</s> and C</m> modifiers on pattern matching.
+
+Assigning a non-numerical value to C<$*> triggers a warning (and makes

+
+=item input_line_number HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
+
+=item $NR
+
+=item $.
+
+The current input record number for the last file handle from which
+you just read() (or called a C<seek> or C<tell> on).  The value
+may be different from the actual physical line number in the file,
+depending on what notion of "line" is in effect--see C<$/> on how
+to change that.  An explicit close on a filehandle resets the line
+number.  Because C<< <> >> never does an explicit close, line
+numbers increase across ARGV files (but see examples in L<perlfunc/eof>).
+Consider this variable read-only: setting it does not reposition
+the seek pointer; you'll have to do that on your own.  Localizing C<$.>
+has the effect of also localizing Perl's notion of "the last read
+filehandle".  (Mnemonic: many programs use "." to mean the current line
+number.)
+
+=item input_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
+
+=item $RS
+
+=item $/
+
+The input record separator, newline by default.  This 
+influences Perl's idea of what a "line" is.  Works like B<awk>'s RS
+variable, including treating empty lines as a terminator if set to
+the null string.  (An empty line cannot contain any spaces
+or tabs.)  You may set it to a multi-character string to match a
+multi-character terminator, or to C<undef> to read through the end
+of file.  Setting it to C<"\n\n"> means something slightly
+different than setting to C<"">, if the file contains consecutive
+empty lines.  Setting to C<""> will treat two or more consecutive
+empty lines as a single empty line.  Setting to C<"\n\n"> will
+blindly assume that the next input character belongs to the next
+paragraph, even if it's a newline.  (Mnemonic: / delimits
+line boundaries when quoting poetry.)
+
+    undef $/;		# enable "slurp" mode
+    $_ = <FH>;		# whole file now here
+    s/\n[ \t]+/ /g;
+
+Remember: the value of C<$/> is a string, not a regex.  B<awk> has to be
+better for something. :-)
+
+Setting C<$/> to a reference to an integer, scalar containing an integer, or
+scalar that's convertible to an integer will attempt to read records
+instead of lines, with the maximum record size being the referenced
+integer.  So this:
+
+    $/ = \32768; # or \"32768", or \$var_containing_32768
+    open(FILE, $myfile);
+    $_ = <FILE>;
+
+will read a record of no more than 32768 bytes from FILE.  If you're
+not reading from a record-oriented file (or your OS doesn't have
+record-oriented files), then you'll likely get a full chunk of data
+with every read.  If a record is larger than the record size you've
+set, you'll get the record back in pieces.
+
+On VMS, record reads are done with the equivalent of C<sysread>,
+so it's best not to mix record and non-record reads on the same
+file.  (This is unlikely to be a problem, because any file you'd
+want to read in record mode is probably unusable in line mode.)
+Non-VMS systems do normal I/O, so it's safe to mix record and
+non-record reads of a file.
+
+See also L<perlport/"Newlines">.  Also see C<$.>.

+=item autoflush HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
+
+=item $|
+
+If set to nonzero, forces a flush right away and after every write
+or print on the currently selected output channel.  Default is 0
+(regardless of whether the channel is really buffered by the
+system or not; C<$|> tells you only whether you've asked Perl
+explicitly to flush after each write).  STDOUT will
+typically be line buffered if output is to the terminal and block
+buffered otherwise.  Setting this variable is useful primarily when
+you are outputting to a pipe or socket, such as when you are running
+a Perl program under B<rsh> and want to see the output as it's
+happening.  This has no effect on input buffering.  See L<perlfunc/getc>

+
+=item output_field_separator HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR
+
+=item $OFS
+
+=item $,
+
+The output field separator for the print operator.  Ordinarily the
+print operator simply prints out its arguments without further
+adornment.  To get behavior more like B<awk>, set this variable as

+between fields.  (Mnemonic: what is printed when there is a "," in
+your print statement.)
+
+=item output_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
+
+=item $ORS
+
+=item $\
+
+The output record separator for the print operator.  Ordinarily the
+print operator simply prints out its arguments as is, with no
+trailing newline or other end-of-record string added.  To get
+behavior more like B<awk>, set this variable as you would set
+B<awk>'s ORS variable to specify what is printed at the end of the
+print.  (Mnemonic: you set C<$\> instead of adding "\n" at the
+end of the print.  Also, it's just like C<$/>, but it's what you
+get "back" from Perl.)
+
+=item $LIST_SEPARATOR
+
+=item $"
+
+This is like C<$,> except that it applies to array and slice values
+interpolated into a double-quoted string (or similar interpreted
+string).  Default is a space.  (Mnemonic: obvious, I think.)
+
+=item $SUBSCRIPT_SEPARATOR
+
+=item $SUBSEP
+
+=item $;
+
+The subscript separator for multidimensional array emulation.  If you
+refer to a hash element as
+
+    $foo{$a,$b,$c}
+
+it really means
+
+    $foo{join($;, $a, $b, $c)}
+
+But don't put
+
+    @foo{$a,$b,$c}	# a slice--note the @
+
+which means
+
+    ($foo{$a},$foo{$b},$foo{$c})
+
+Default is "\034", the same as SUBSEP in B<awk>.  If your
+keys contain binary data there might not be any safe value for C<$;>.
+(Mnemonic: comma (the syntactic subscript separator) is a
+semi-semicolon.  Yeah, I know, it's pretty lame, but C<$,> is already
+taken for something more important.)
+
+Consider using "real" multidimensional arrays as described
+in L<perllol>.
+
+=item $OFMT
+
+=item $#
+
+The output format for printed numbers.  This variable is a half-hearted
+attempt to emulate B<awk>'s OFMT variable.  There are times, however,
+when B<awk> and Perl have differing notions of what counts as 
+numeric.  The initial value is "%.I<n>g", where I<n> is the value
+of the macro DBL_DIG from your system's F<float.h>.  This is different from
+B<awk>'s default OFMT setting of "%.6g", so you need to set C<$#>
+explicitly to get B<awk>'s value.  (Mnemonic: # is the number sign.)
+
+Use of C<$#> is deprecated.
+
+=item format_page_number HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $FORMAT_PAGE_NUMBER

+=item $FORMAT_LINES_PER_PAGE
+
+=item $=
+
+The current page length (printable lines) of the currently selected

+Used with formats.
+(Mnemonic: = has horizontal lines.)
+
+=item format_lines_left HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $FORMAT_LINES_LEFT
+
+=item $-
+

+(Mnemonic: lines_on_page - lines_printed.)
+
+=item @LAST_MATCH_START
+
+=item @-
+
+$-[0] is the offset of the start of the last successful match.
+C<$-[>I<n>C<]> is the offset of the start of the substring matched by
+I<n>-th subpattern, or undef if the subpattern did not match.
+
+Thus after a match against $_, $& coincides with C<substr $_, $-[0],
+$+[0] - $-[0]>.  Similarly, C<$>I<n> coincides with C<substr $_, $-[>I<n>C<],
+$+[>I<n>C<] - $-[>I<n>C<]> if C<$-[>I<n>C<]> is defined, and $+ coincides with
+C<substr $_, $-[$#-], $+[$#-]>.  One can use C<$#-> to find the last
+matched subgroup in the last successful match.  Contrast with
+C<$#+>, the number of subgroups in the regular expression.  Compare
+with C<@+>.
+
+This array holds the offsets of the beginnings of the last
+successful submatches in the currently active dynamic scope.
+C<$-[0]> is the offset into the string of the beginning of the
+entire match.  The I<n>th element of this array holds the offset
+of the I<n>th submatch, so C<$+[1]> is the offset where $1
+begins, C<$+[2]> the offset where $2 begins, and so on.
+You can use C<$#-> to determine how many subgroups were in the
+last successful match.  Compare with the C<@+> variable.
+
+After a match against some variable $var:

+
+The name of the current top-of-page format for the currently selected

+=item format_line_break_characters HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS
+
+=item $:
+
+The current set of characters after which a string may be broken to
+fill continuation fields (starting with ^) in a format.  Default is
+S<" \n-">, to break on whitespace or hyphens.  (Mnemonic: a "colon" in
+poetry is a part of a line.)
+
+=item format_formfeed HANDLE EXPR
+
+=item $FORMAT_FORMFEED
+
+=item $^L
+
+What formats output as a form feed.  Default is \f.
+
+=item $ACCUMULATOR
+
+=item $^A
+
+The current value of the write() accumulator for format() lines.  A format
+contains formline() calls that put their result into C<$^A>.  After
+calling its format, write() prints out the contents of C<$^A> and empties.
+So you never really see the contents of C<$^A> unless you call
+formline() yourself and then look at it.  See L<perlform> and
+L<perlfunc/formline()>.
+
+=item $CHILD_ERROR
+
+=item $?
+
+The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (C<``>) command,
+successful call to wait() or waitpid(), or from the system()
+operator.  This is just the 16-bit status word returned by the
+wait() system call (or else is made up to look like it).  Thus, the
+exit value of the subprocess is really (C<<< $? >> 8 >>>), and
+C<$? & 127> gives which signal, if any, the process died from, and
+C<$? & 128> reports whether there was a core dump.  (Mnemonic:
+similar to B<sh> and B<ksh>.)
+
+Additionally, if the C<h_errno> variable is supported in C, its value
+is returned via $? if any C<gethost*()> function fails.
+
+If you have installed a signal handler for C<SIGCHLD>, the
+value of C<$?> will usually be wrong outside that handler.
+
+Inside an C<END> subroutine C<$?> contains the value that is going to be
+given to C<exit()>.  You can modify C<$?> in an C<END> subroutine to
+change the exit status of your program.  For example:
+
+    END {
+	$? = 1 if $? == 255;  # die would make it 255
+    } 
+
+Under VMS, the pragma C<use vmsish 'status'> makes C<$?> reflect the
+actual VMS exit status, instead of the default emulation of POSIX
+status.
+
+Also see L<Error Indicators>.
+
+=item $OS_ERROR
+
+=item $ERRNO
+
+=item $!
+
+If used numerically, yields the current value of the C C<errno>
+variable, with all the usual caveats.  (This means that you shouldn't
+depend on the value of C<$!> to be anything in particular unless
+you've gotten a specific error return indicating a system error.)
+If used an a string, yields the corresponding system error string.
+You can assign a number to C<$!> to set I<errno> if, for instance,
+you want C<"$!"> to return the string for error I<n>, or you want
+to set the exit value for the die() operator.  (Mnemonic: What just
+went bang?)
+
+Also see L<Error Indicators>.
+
+=item $EXTENDED_OS_ERROR
+
+=item $^E
+
+Error information specific to the current operating system.  At
+the moment, this differs from C<$!> under only VMS, OS/2, and Win32
+(and for MacPerl).  On all other platforms, C<$^E> is always just
+the same as C<$!>.
+
+Under VMS, C<$^E> provides the VMS status value from the last
+system error.  This is more specific information about the last
+system error than that provided by C<$!>.  This is particularly
+important when C<$!> is set to B<EVMSERR>.
+
+Under OS/2, C<$^E> is set to the error code of the last call to
+OS/2 API either via CRT, or directly from perl.
+
+Under Win32, C<$^E> always returns the last error information
+reported by the Win32 call C<GetLastError()> which describes
+the last error from within the Win32 API.  Most Win32-specific
+code will report errors via C<$^E>.  ANSI C and Unix-like calls
+set C<errno> and so most portable Perl code will report errors
+via C<$!>. 
+
+Caveats mentioned in the description of C<$!> generally apply to
+C<$^E>, also.  (Mnemonic: Extra error explanation.)
+
+Also see L<Error Indicators>.
+
+=item $EVAL_ERROR
+
+=item $@
+
+The Perl syntax error message from the last eval() operator.  If null, the
+last eval() parsed and executed correctly (although the operations you
+invoked may have failed in the normal fashion).  (Mnemonic: Where was
+the syntax error "at"?)
+
+Warning messages are not collected in this variable.  You can,
+however, set up a routine to process warnings by setting C<$SIG{__WARN__}>
+as described below.
+
+Also see L<Error Indicators>.
+
+=item $PROCESS_ID
+
+=item $PID
+
+=item $$
+
+The process number of the Perl running this script.  You should
+consider this variable read-only, although it will be altered
+across fork() calls.  (Mnemonic: same as shells.)
+
+=item $REAL_USER_ID
+
+=item $UID

+if you're running setuid.)
+
+=item $EFFECTIVE_USER_ID
+
+=item $EUID
+
+=item $>
+
+The effective uid of this process.  Example:
+
+    $< = $>;		# set real to effective uid
+    ($<,$>) = ($>,$<);	# swap real and effective uid
+
+(Mnemonic: it's the uid you went I<to>, if you're running setuid.)
+C<< $< >> and C<< $> >> can be swapped only on machines
+supporting setreuid().
+
+=item $REAL_GROUP_ID
+
+=item $GID
+
+=item $(
+
+The real gid of this process.  If you are on a machine that supports
+membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated
+list of groups you are in.  The first number is the one returned by
+getgid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of which may be
+the same as the first number.
+
+However, a value assigned to C<$(> must be a single number used to
+set the real gid.  So the value given by C<$(> should I<not> be assigned
+back to C<$(> without being forced numeric, such as by adding zero.
+
+(Mnemonic: parentheses are used to I<group> things.  The real gid is the
+group you I<left>, if you're running setgid.)
+
+=item $EFFECTIVE_GROUP_ID
+
+=item $EGID
+
+=item $)
+
+The effective gid of this process.  If you are on a machine that
+supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space
+separated list of groups you are in.  The first number is the one
+returned by getegid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of
+which may be the same as the first number.
+
+Similarly, a value assigned to C<$)> must also be a space-separated
+list of numbers.  The first number sets the effective gid, and
+the rest (if any) are passed to setgroups().  To get the effect of an
+empty list for setgroups(), just repeat the new effective gid; that is,
+to force an effective gid of 5 and an effectively empty setgroups()
+list, say C< $) = "5 5" >.
+
+(Mnemonic: parentheses are used to I<group> things.  The effective gid
+is the group that's I<right> for you, if you're running setgid.)
+
+C<< $< >>, C<< $> >>, C<$(> and C<$)> can be set only on
+machines that support the corresponding I<set[re][ug]id()> routine.  C<$(>
+and C<$)> can be swapped only on machines supporting setregid().
+
+=item $PROGRAM_NAME
+
+=item $0
+
+Contains the name of the program being executed.  On some operating
+systems assigning to C<$0> modifies the argument area that the B<ps>
+program sees.  This is more useful as a way of indicating the current
+program state than it is for hiding the program you're running.
+(Mnemonic: same as B<sh> and B<ksh>.)
+
+Note for BSD users: setting C<$0> does not completely remove "perl"
+from the ps(1) output.  For example, setting C<$0> to C<"foobar"> will
+result in C<"perl: foobar (perl)">.  This is an operating system
+feature.
+
+=item $[
+
+The index of the first element in an array, and of the first character
+in a substring.  Default is 0, but you could theoretically set it
+to 1 to make Perl behave more like B<awk> (or Fortran) when
+subscripting and when evaluating the index() and substr() functions.
+(Mnemonic: [ begins subscripts.)
+
+As of release 5 of Perl, assignment to C<$[> is treated as a compiler
+directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file.
+Its use is highly discouraged.
+
+=item $]
+
+The version + patchlevel / 1000 of the Perl interpreter.  This variable
+can be used to determine whether the Perl interpreter executing a
+script is in the right range of versions.  (Mnemonic: Is this version
+of perl in the right bracket?)  Example:
+
+    warn "No checksumming!\n" if $] < 3.019;
+
+See also the documentation of C<use VERSION> and C<require VERSION>
+for a convenient way to fail if the running Perl interpreter is too old.

+
+=item $COMPILING
+
+=item $^C
+
+The current value of the flag associated with the B<-c> switch.
+Mainly of use with B<-MO=...> to allow code to alter its behavior
+when being compiled, such as for example to AUTOLOAD at compile
+time rather than normal, deferred loading.  See L<perlcc>.  Setting
+C<$^C = 1> is similar to calling C<B::minus_c>.
+
+=item $DEBUGGING
+
+=item $^D
+
+The current value of the debugging flags.  (Mnemonic: value of B<-D>
+switch.)
+
+=item $SYSTEM_FD_MAX
+
+=item $^F
+
+The maximum system file descriptor, ordinarily 2.  System file
+descriptors are passed to exec()ed processes, while higher file
+descriptors are not.  Also, during an open(), system file descriptors are
+preserved even if the open() fails.  (Ordinary file descriptors are
+closed before the open() is attempted.)  The close-on-exec
+status of a file descriptor will be decided according to the value of
+C<$^F> when the corresponding file, pipe, or socket was opened, not the
+time of the exec().
+
+=item $^H
+
+WARNING: This variable is strictly for internal use only.  Its availability,
+behavior, and contents are subject to change without notice.
+
+This variable contains compile-time hints for the Perl interpreter.  At the
+end of compilation of a BLOCK the value of this variable is restored to the
+value when the interpreter started to compile the BLOCK.
+
+When perl begins to parse any block construct that provides a lexical scope
+(e.g., eval body, required file, subroutine body, loop body, or conditional
+block), the existing value of $^H is saved, but its value is left unchanged.
+When the compilation of the block is completed, it regains the saved value.
+Between the points where its value is saved and restored, code that
+executes within BEGIN blocks is free to change the value of $^H.
+
+This behavior provides the semantic of lexical scoping, and is used in,
+for instance, the C<use strict> pragma.
+
+The contents should be an integer; different bits of it are used for
+different pragmatic flags.  Here's an example:
+
+    sub add_100 { $^H |= 0x100 }
+
+    sub foo {
+	BEGIN { add_100() }
+	bar->baz($boon);
+    }
+
+Consider what happens during execution of the BEGIN block.  At this point
+the BEGIN block has already been compiled, but the body of foo() is still
+being compiled.  The new value of $^H will therefore be visible only while
+the body of foo() is being compiled.
+
+Substitution of the above BEGIN block with:
+
+    BEGIN { require strict; strict->import('vars') }
+
+demonstrates how C<use strict 'vars'> is implemented.  Here's a conditional
+version of the same lexical pragma:
+
+    BEGIN { require strict; strict->import('vars') if $condition }
+
+=item %^H
+
+WARNING: This variable is strictly for internal use only.  Its availability,
+behavior, and contents are subject to change without notice.
+
+The %^H hash provides the same scoping semantic as $^H.  This makes it
+useful for implementation of lexically scoped pragmas.
+
+=item $INPLACE_EDIT
+
+=item $^I
+
+The current value of the inplace-edit extension.  Use C<undef> to disable
+inplace editing.  (Mnemonic: value of B<-i> switch.)
+
+=item $^M
+
+By default, running out of memory is an untrappable, fatal error.
+However, if suitably built, Perl can use the contents of C<$^M>
+as an emergency memory pool after die()ing.  Suppose that your Perl
+were compiled with -DPERL_EMERGENCY_SBRK and used Perl's malloc.
+Then
+
+    $^M = 'a' x (1 << 16);
+
+would allocate a 64K buffer for use in an emergency.  See the

+enable this option.  To discourage casual use of this advanced
+feature, there is no L<English|English> long name for this variable.
+
+=item $OSNAME

+C<$^V eq v5.6.0>.  Note that the characters in this string value can
+potentially be in Unicode range.
+
+This can be used to determine whether the Perl interpreter executing a
+script is in the right range of versions.  (Mnemonic: use ^V for Version
+Control.)  Example:
+
+    warn "No \"our\" declarations!\n" if $^V and $^V lt v5.6.0;
+
+See the documentation of C<use VERSION> and C<require VERSION>
+for a convenient way to fail if the running Perl interpreter is too old.
+
+See also C<$]> for an older representation of the Perl version.
+
+=item $WARNING
+
+=item $^W
+
+The current value of the warning switch, initially true if B<-w>
+was used, false otherwise, but directly modifiable.  (Mnemonic:
+related to the B<-w> switch.)  See also L<warnings>.
+
+=item ${^WARNING_BITS}
+
+The current set of warning checks enabled by the C<use warnings> pragma.
+See the documentation of C<warnings> for more details.
+
+=item ${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS}
+
+Global flag that enables system calls made by Perl to use wide character
+APIs native to the system, if available.  This is currently only implemented
+on the Windows platform.
+
+This can also be enabled from the command line using the C<-C> switch.
+
+The initial value is typically C<0> for compatibility with Perl versions
+earlier than 5.6, but may be automatically set to C<1> by Perl if the system
+provides a user-settable default (e.g., C<$ENV{LC_CTYPE}>).
+
+The C<bytes> pragma always overrides the effect of this flag in the current
+lexical scope.  See L<bytes>.
+
+=item $EXECUTABLE_NAME
+
+=item $^X
+
+The name that the Perl binary itself was executed as, from C's C<argv[0]>.
+This may not be a full pathname, nor even necessarily in your path.
+
+=item $ARGV
+
+contains the name of the current file when reading from <>.
+
+=item @ARGV
+
+The array @ARGV contains the command-line arguments intended for
+the script.  C<$#ARGV> is generally the number of arguments minus
+one, because C<$ARGV[0]> is the first argument, I<not> the program's
+command name itself.  See C<$0> for the command name.
+
+=item @INC
+
+The array @INC contains the list of places that the C<do EXPR>,
+C<require>, or C<use> constructs look for their library files.  It
+initially consists of the arguments to any B<-I> command-line
+switches, followed by the default Perl library, probably
+F</usr/local/lib/perl>, followed by ".", to represent the current
+directory.  If you need to modify this at runtime, you should use
+the C<use lib> pragma to get the machine-dependent library properly
+loaded also:
+
+    use lib '/mypath/libdir/';
+    use SomeMod;
+
+=item @_
+
+Within a subroutine the array @_ contains the parameters passed to that
+subroutine.  See L<perlsub>.
+
+=item %INC
+
+The hash %INC contains entries for each filename included via the
+C<do>, C<require>, or C<use> operators.  The key is the filename
+you specified (with module names converted to pathnames), and the
+value is the location of the file found.  The C<require>
+operator uses this hash to determine whether a particular file has
+already been included.
+
+=item %ENV
+
+=item $ENV{expr}
+
+The hash %ENV contains your current environment.  Setting a
+value in C<ENV> changes the environment for any child processes
+you subsequently fork() off.
+
+=item %SIG
+
+=item $SIG{expr}
+
+The hash %SIG contains signal handlers for signals.  For example:
+
+    sub handler {	# 1st argument is signal name
+	my($sig) = @_;
+	print "Caught a SIG$sig--shutting down\n";
+	close(LOG);
+	exit(0);
+    }
+
+    $SIG{'INT'}  = \&handler;
+    $SIG{'QUIT'} = \&handler;
+    ...
+    $SIG{'INT'}  = 'DEFAULT';	# restore default action
+    $SIG{'QUIT'} = 'IGNORE';	# ignore SIGQUIT
+
+Using a value of C<'IGNORE'> usually has the effect of ignoring the
+signal, except for the C<CHLD> signal.  See L<perlipc> for more about
+this special case.
+
+Here are some other examples:
+
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = "Plumber";   # assumes main::Plumber (not recommended)
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = \&Plumber;   # just fine; assume current Plumber
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = *Plumber;    # somewhat esoteric
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = Plumber();   # oops, what did Plumber() return??
+
+Be sure not to use a bareword as the name of a signal handler,
+lest you inadvertently call it. 
+
+If your system has the sigaction() function then signal handlers are
+installed using it.  This means you get reliable signal handling.  If
+your system has the SA_RESTART flag it is used when signals handlers are
+installed.  This means that system calls for which restarting is supported
+continue rather than returning when a signal arrives.  If you want your
+system calls to be interrupted by signal delivery then do something like
+this:
+
+    use POSIX ':signal_h';
+
+    my $alarm = 0;
+    sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction sub { $alarm = 1 }
+    	or die "Error setting SIGALRM handler: $!\n";
+
+See L<POSIX>.
+
+Certain internal hooks can be also set using the %SIG hash.  The
+routine indicated by C<$SIG{__WARN__}> is called when a warning message is
+about to be printed.  The warning message is passed as the first
+argument.  The presence of a __WARN__ hook causes the ordinary printing
+of warnings to STDERR to be suppressed.  You can use this to save warnings
+in a variable, or turn warnings into fatal errors, like this:
+
+    local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { die $_[0] };
+    eval $proggie;
+
+The routine indicated by C<$SIG{__DIE__}> is called when a fatal exception
+is about to be thrown.  The error message is passed as the first
+argument.  When a __DIE__ hook routine returns, the exception
+processing continues as it would have in the absence of the hook,
+unless the hook routine itself exits via a C<goto>, a loop exit, or a die().
+The C<__DIE__> handler is explicitly disabled during the call, so that you
+can die from a C<__DIE__> handler.  Similarly for C<__WARN__>.
+
+Due to an implementation glitch, the C<$SIG{__DIE__}> hook is called
+even inside an eval().  Do not use this to rewrite a pending exception
+in C<$@>, or as a bizarre substitute for overriding CORE::GLOBAL::die().
+This strange action at a distance may be fixed in a future release
+so that C<$SIG{__DIE__}> is only called if your program is about
+to exit, as was the original intent.  Any other use is deprecated.
+
+C<__DIE__>/C<__WARN__> handlers are very special in one respect:
+they may be called to report (probable) errors found by the parser.
+In such a case the parser may be in inconsistent state, so any
+attempt to evaluate Perl code from such a handler will probably
+result in a segfault.  This means that warnings or errors that
+result from parsing Perl should be used with extreme caution, like
+this:
+
+    require Carp if defined $^S;
+    Carp::confess("Something wrong") if defined &Carp::confess;
+    die "Something wrong, but could not load Carp to give backtrace...
+         To see backtrace try starting Perl with -MCarp switch";
+
+Here the first line will load Carp I<unless> it is the parser who
+called the handler.  The second line will print backtrace and die if
+Carp was available.  The third line will be executed only if Carp was
+not available.
+
+See L<perlfunc/die>, L<perlfunc/warn>, L<perlfunc/eval>, and
+L<warnings> for additional information.

+
+=head2 Error Indicators
+
+The variables C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>, and C<$?> contain information
+about different types of error conditions that may appear during
+execution of a Perl program.  The variables are shown ordered by
+the "distance" between the subsystem which reported the error and
+the Perl process.  They correspond to errors detected by the Perl
+interpreter, C library, operating system, or an external program,
+respectively.
+
+To illustrate the differences between these variables, consider the 
+following Perl expression, which uses a single-quoted string:
+
+    eval q{
+	open PIPE, "/cdrom/install |";
+	@res = <PIPE>;
+	close PIPE or die "bad pipe: $?, $!";
+    };
+
+After execution of this statement all 4 variables may have been set.  
+
+C<$@> is set if the string to be C<eval>-ed did not compile (this
+may happen if C<open> or C<close> were imported with bad prototypes),
+or if Perl code executed during evaluation die()d .  In these cases
+the value of $@ is the compile error, or the argument to C<die>
+(which will interpolate C<$!> and C<$?>!).  (See also L<Fatal>,
+though.)
+
+When the eval() expression above is executed, open(), C<< <PIPE> >>,
+and C<close> are translated to calls in the C run-time library and
+thence to the operating system kernel.  C<$!> is set to the C library's
+C<errno> if one of these calls fails. 
+
+Under a few operating systems, C<$^E> may contain a more verbose
+error indicator, such as in this case, "CDROM tray not closed."
+Systems that do not support extended error messages leave C<$^E>
+the same as C<$!>.
+
+Finally, C<$?> may be set to non-0 value if the external program
+F</cdrom/install> fails.  The upper eight bits reflect specific
+error conditions encountered by the program (the program's exit()
+value).   The lower eight bits reflect mode of failure, like signal
+death and core dump information  See wait(2) for details.  In
+contrast to C<$!> and C<$^E>, which are set only if error condition
+is detected, the variable C<$?> is set on each C<wait> or pipe
+C<close>, overwriting the old value.  This is more like C<$@>, which
+on every eval() is always set on failure and cleared on success.
+
+For more details, see the individual descriptions at C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>,
+and C<$?>.
+
+=head2 Technical Note on the Syntax of Variable Names
+
+Variable names in Perl can have several formats.  Usually, they
+must begin with a letter or underscore, in which case they can be
+arbitrarily long (up to an internal limit of 251 characters) and
+may contain letters, digits, underscores, or the special sequence
+C<::> or C<'>.  In this case, the part before the last C<::> or
+C<'> is taken to be a I<package qualifier>; see L<perlmod>.
+
+Perl variable names may also be a sequence of digits or a single
+punctuation or control character.  These names are all reserved for
+special uses by Perl; for example, the all-digits names are used
+to hold data captured by backreferences after a regular expression
+match.  Perl has a special syntax for the single-control-character
+names: It understands C<^X> (caret C<X>) to mean the control-C<X>
+character.  For example, the notation C<$^W> (dollar-sign caret
+C<W>) is the scalar variable whose name is the single character
+control-C<W>.  This is better than typing a literal control-C<W>
+into your program.
+
+Finally, new in Perl 5.6, Perl variable names may be alphanumeric
+strings that begin with control characters (or better yet, a caret).
+These variables must be written in the form C<${^Foo}>; the braces
+are not optional.  C<${^Foo}> denotes the scalar variable whose
+name is a control-C<F> followed by two C<o>'s.  These variables are
+reserved for future special uses by Perl, except for the ones that
+begin with C<^_> (control-underscore or caret-underscore).  No
+control-character name that begins with C<^_> will acquire a special
+meaning in any future version of Perl; such names may therefore be
+used safely in programs.  C<$^_> itself, however, I<is> reserved.
+
+Perl identifiers that begin with digits, control characters, or
+punctuation characters are exempt from the effects of the C<package>
+declaration and are always forced to be in package C<main>.  A few
+other names are also exempt:
+
+	ENV		STDIN
+	INC		STDOUT
+	ARGV		STDERR
+	ARGVOUT
+	SIG
+
+In particular, the new special C<${^_XYZ}> variables are always taken
+to be in package C<main>, regardless of any C<package> declarations
+presently in scope.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Due to an unfortunate accident of Perl's implementation, C<use
+English> imposes a considerable performance penalty on all regular
+expression matches in a program, regardless of whether they occur
+in the scope of C<use English>.  For that reason, saying C<use
+English> in libraries is strongly discouraged.  See the
+Devel::SawAmpersand module documentation from CPAN
+(http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Devel/)
+for more information.
+
+Having to even think about the C<$^S> variable in your exception
+handlers is simply wrong.  C<$SIG{__DIE__}> as currently implemented
+invites grievous and difficult to track down errors.  Avoid it
+and use an C<END{}> or CORE::GLOBAL::die override instead.

+NAME
+perlvar - Perl predefined variables
+DESCRIPTION
+Predefined Names
+The following names have special meaning to Perl. Most punctuation names have reasonable mnemonics, or analogs in the shells. Nevertheless, if you wish to use long variable names, you need only say
+    use English;
+at the top of your program. This will alias all the short names to the long names in the current package. Some even have medium names, generally borrowed from awk.
+If you don't mind the performance hit, variables that depend on the currently selected filehandle may instead be set by calling an appropriate object method on the IO::Handle object. (Summary lines below for this contain the word HANDLE.) First you must say
+    use IO::Handle;
+after which you may use either
+    method HANDLE EXPR
+or more safely,
+    HANDLE->method(EXPR)
+Each method returns the old value of the IO::Handle attribute. The methods each take an optional EXPR, which if supplied specifies the new value for the IO::Handle attribute in question. If not supplied, most methods do nothing to the current value--except for autoflush(), which will assume a 1 for you, just to be different. Because loading in the IO::Handle class is an expensive operation, you should learn how to use the regular built-in variables.
+A few of these variables are considered "read-only". This means that if you try to assign to this variable, either directly or indirectly through a reference, you'll raise a run-time exception.
+The following list is ordered by scalar variables first, then the arrays, then the hashes.
+$ARG
+$_
+The default input and pattern-searching space. The following pairs are equivalent:
+    while (<>) {...}    # equivalent only in while!
+    while (defined($_ = <>)) {...}
+    /^Subject:/
+    $_ =~ /^Subject:/
+    tr/a-z/A-Z/
+    $_ =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/
+    chomp
+    chomp($_)
+Here are the places where Perl will assume $_ even if you don't use it:
+ Various unary functions, including functions like ord() and int(), as well as the all file tests (-f, -d) except for -t, which defaults to STDIN.
+ Various list functions like print() and unlink().
+ The pattern matching operations m//, s///, and tr/// when used without an =~ operator.
+ The default iterator variable in a foreach loop if no other variable is supplied.
+ The implicit iterator variable in the grep() and map() functions.
+ The default place to put an input record when a <FH> operation's result is tested by itself as the sole criterion of a while test. Outside a while test, this will not happen.
+(Mnemonic: underline is understood in certain operations.)
+$<digits>
+Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of capturing parentheses from the last pattern match, not counting patterns matched in nested blocks that have been exited already. (Mnemonic: like \digits.) These variables are all read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+$MATCH
+$&
+The string matched by the last successful pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval() enclosed by the current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: like & in some editors.) This variable is read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable performance penalty on all regular expression matches. See BUGS.
+$PREMATCH
+$`
+The string preceding whatever was matched by the last successful pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval enclosed by the current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: ` often precedes a quoted string.) This variable is read-only.
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable performance penalty on all regular expression matches. See BUGS.
+$POSTMATCH
+$'
+The string following whatever was matched by the last successful pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval() enclosed by the current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: ' often follows a quoted string.) Example:
+    $_ = 'abcdefghi';
+    /def/;
+    print "$`:$&:$'\n";         # prints abc:def:ghi
+This variable is read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+The use of this variable anywhere in a program imposes a considerable performance penalty on all regular expression matches. See BUGS.
+$LAST_PAREN_MATCH
+$+
+The last bracket matched by the last search pattern. This is useful if you don't know which one of a set of alternative patterns matched. For example:
+    /Version: (.*)|Revision: (.*)/ && ($rev = $+);
+(Mnemonic: be positive and forward looking.) This variable is read-only and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
+@LAST_MATCH_END
+@+
+This array holds the offsets of the ends of the last successful submatches in the currently active dynamic scope. $+[0] is the offset into the string of the end of the entire match. This is the same value as what the pos function returns when called on the variable that was matched against. The nth element of this array holds the offset of the nth submatch, so $+[1] is the offset past where $1 ends, $+[2] the offset past where $2 ends, and so on. You can use $#+ to determine how many subgroups were in the last successful match. See the examples given for the @- variable.
+$MULTILINE_MATCHING
+$*
+Set to a non-zero integer value to do multi-line matching within a string, 0 (or undefined) to tell Perl that it can assume that strings contain a single line, for the purpose of optimizing pattern matches. Pattern matches on strings containing multiple newlines can produce confusing results when $* is 0 or undefined. Default is undefined. (Mnemonic: * matches multiple things.) This variable influences the interpretation of only ^ and $. A literal newline can be searched for even when $* == 0.
+Use of $* is deprecated in modern Perl, supplanted by the /s and /m modifiers on pattern matching.
+Assigning a non-numerical value to $* triggers a warning (and makes $* act if $* == 0), while assigning a numerical value to $* makes that an implicit int is applied on the value.
+input_line_number HANDLE EXPR
+$INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
+$NR
+$.
+The current input record number for the last file handle from which you just read() (or called a seek or tell on). The value may be different from the actual physical line number in the file, depending on what notion of "line" is in effect--see $/ on how to change that. An explicit close on a filehandle resets the line number. Because <> never does an explicit close, line numbers increase across ARGV files (but see examples in "eof" in perlfunc). Consider this variable read-only: setting it does not reposition the seek pointer; you'll have to do that on your own. Localizing $. has the effect of also localizing Perl's notion of "the last read filehandle". (Mnemonic: many programs use "." to mean the current line number.)
+input_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
+$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
+$RS
+$/
+The input record separator, newline by default. This influences Perl's idea of what a "line" is. Works like awk's RS variable, including treating empty lines as a terminator if set to the null string. (An empty line cannot contain any spaces or tabs.) You may set it to a multi-character string to match a multi-character terminator, or to undef to read through the end of file. Setting it to "\n\n" means something slightly different than setting to "", if the file contains consecutive empty lines. Setting to "" will treat two or more consecutive empty lines as a single empty line. Setting to "\n\n" will blindly assume that the next input character belongs to the next paragraph, even if it's a newline. (Mnemonic: / delimits line boundaries when quoting poetry.)
+    undef $/;           # enable "slurp" mode
+    $_ = <FH>;          # whole file now here
+    s/\n[ \t]+/ /g;
+Remember: the value of $/ is a string, not a regex. awk has to be better for something. :-)
+Setting $/ to a reference to an integer, scalar containing an integer, or scalar that's convertible to an integer will attempt to read records instead of lines, with the maximum record size being the referenced integer. So this:
+    $/ = \32768; # or \"32768", or \$var_containing_32768
+    open(FILE, $myfile);
+    $_ = <FILE>;
+will read a record of no more than 32768 bytes from FILE. If you're not reading from a record-oriented file (or your OS doesn't have record-oriented files), then you'll likely get a full chunk of data with every read. If a record is larger than the record size you've set, you'll get the record back in pieces.
+On VMS, record reads are done with the equivalent of sysread, so it's best not to mix record and non-record reads on the same file. (This is unlikely to be a problem, because any file you'd want to read in record mode is probably unusable in line mode.) Non-VMS systems do normal I/O, so it's safe to mix record and non-record reads of a file.
+See also "Newlines" in perlport. Also see $..
+autoflush HANDLE EXPR
+$OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
+$|
+If set to nonzero, forces a flush right away and after every write or print on the currently selected output channel. Default is 0 (regardless of whether the channel is really buffered by the system or not; $| tells you only whether you've asked Perl explicitly to flush after each write). STDOUT will typically be line buffered if output is to the terminal and block buffered otherwise. Setting this variable is useful primarily when you are outputting to a pipe or socket, such as when you are running a Perl program under rsh and want to see the output as it's happening. This has no effect on input buffering. See "getc" in perlfunc for that. (Mnemonic: when you want your pipes to be piping hot.)
+output_field_separator HANDLE EXPR
+$OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR
+$OFS
+$,
+The output field separator for the print operator. Ordinarily the print operator simply prints out its arguments without further adornment. To get behavior more like awk, set this variable as you would set awk's OFS variable to specify what is printed between fields. (Mnemonic: what is printed when there is a "," in your print statement.)
+output_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
+$OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
+$ORS
+$\
+The output record separator for the print operator. Ordinarily the print operator simply prints out its arguments as is, with no trailing newline or other end-of-record string added. To get behavior more like awk, set this variable as you would set awk's ORS variable to specify what is printed at the end of the print. (Mnemonic: you set $\ instead of adding "\n" at the end of the print. Also, it's just like $/, but it's what you get "back" from Perl.)
+$LIST_SEPARATOR
+$"
+This is like $, except that it applies to array and slice values interpolated into a double-quoted string (or similar interpreted string). Default is a space. (Mnemonic: obvious, I think.)
+$SUBSCRIPT_SEPARATOR
+$SUBSEP
+$;
+The subscript separator for multidimensional array emulation. If you refer to a hash element as
+    $foo{$a,$b,$c}
+it really means
+    $foo{join($;, $a, $b, $c)}
+But don't put
+    @foo{$a,$b,$c}      # a slice--note the @
+which means
+    ($foo{$a},$foo{$b},$foo{$c})
+Default is "\034", the same as SUBSEP in awk. If your keys contain binary data there might not be any safe value for $;. (Mnemonic: comma (the syntactic subscript separator) is a semi-semicolon. Yeah, I know, it's pretty lame, but $, is already taken for something more important.)
+Consider using "real" multidimensional arrays as described in perllol.
+$OFMT
+$#
+The output format for printed numbers. This variable is a half-hearted attempt to emulate awk's OFMT variable. There are times, however, when awk and Perl have differing notions of what counts as numeric. The initial value is "%.ng", where n is the value of the macro DBL_DIG from your system's float.h. This is different from awk's default OFMT setting of "%.6g", so you need to set $# explicitly to get awk's value. (Mnemonic: # is the number sign.)
+Use of $# is deprecated.
+format_page_number HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_PAGE_NUMBER
+$%
+The current page number of the currently selected output channel. Used with formats. (Mnemonic: % is page number in nroff.)
+format_lines_per_page HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_LINES_PER_PAGE
+$=
+The current page length (printable lines) of the currently selected output channel. Default is 60. Used with formats. (Mnemonic: = has horizontal lines.)
+format_lines_left HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_LINES_LEFT
+$-
+The number of lines left on the page of the currently selected output channel. Used with formats. (Mnemonic: lines_on_page - lines_printed.)
+@LAST_MATCH_START
+@-
+$-[0] is the offset of the start of the last successful match. $-[n] is the offset of the start of the substring matched by n-th subpattern, or undef if the subpattern did not match.
+Thus after a match against $_, $& coincides with substr $_, $-[0], $+[0] - $-[0]. Similarly, $n coincides with substr $_, $-[n], $+[n] - $-[n] if $-[n] is defined, and $+ coincides with substr $_, $-[$#-], $+[$#-]. One can use $#- to find the last matched subgroup in the last successful match. Contrast with $#+, the number of subgroups in the regular expression. Compare with @+.
+This array holds the offsets of the beginnings of the last successful submatches in the currently active dynamic scope. $-[0] is the offset into the string of the beginning of the entire match. The nth element of this array holds the offset of the nth submatch, so $+[1] is the offset where $1 begins, $+[2] the offset where $2 begins, and so on. You can use $#- to determine how many subgroups were in the last successful match. Compare with the @+ variable.
+After a match against some variable $var:
+$` is the same as substr($var, 0, $-[0])
+$& is the same as substr($var, $-[0], $+[0] - $-[0])
+$' is the same as substr($var, $+[0])
+$1 is the same as substr($var, $-[1], $+[1] - $-[1]) 
+$2 is the same as substr($var, $-[2], $+[2] - $-[2])
+$3 is the same as substr $var, $-[3], $+[3] - $-[3])
+format_name HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_NAME
+$~
+The name of the current report format for the currently selected output channel. Default is the name of the filehandle. (Mnemonic: brother to $^.)
+format_top_name HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_TOP_NAME
+$^
+The name of the current top-of-page format for the currently selected output channel. Default is the name of the filehandle with _TOP appended. (Mnemonic: points to top of page.)
+format_line_break_characters HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS
+$:
+The current set of characters after which a string may be broken to fill continuation fields (starting with ^) in a format. Default is " \n-", to break on whitespace or hyphens. (Mnemonic: a "colon" in poetry is a part of a line.)
+format_formfeed HANDLE EXPR
+$FORMAT_FORMFEED
+$^L
+What formats output as a form feed. Default is \f.
+$ACCUMULATOR
+$^A
+The current value of the write() accumulator for format() lines. A format contains formline() calls that put their result into $^A. After calling its format, write() prints out the contents of $^A and empties. So you never really see the contents of $^A unless you call formline() yourself and then look at it. See perlform and "formline()" in perlfunc.
+$CHILD_ERROR
+$?
+The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (``) command, successful call to wait() or waitpid(), or from the system() operator. This is just the 16-bit status word returned by the wait() system call (or else is made up to look like it). Thus, the exit value of the subprocess is really ($? >> 8), and $? & 127 gives which signal, if any, the process died from, and $? & 128 reports whether there was a core dump. (Mnemonic: similar to sh and ksh.)
+Additionally, if the h_errno variable is supported in C, its value is returned via $? if any gethost*() function fails.
+If you have installed a signal handler for SIGCHLD, the value of $? will usually be wrong outside that handler.
+Inside an END subroutine $? contains the value that is going to be given to exit(). You can modify $? in an END subroutine to change the exit status of your program. For example:
+    END {
+        $? = 1 if $? == 255;  # die would make it 255
+    } 
+Under VMS, the pragma use vmsish 'status' makes $? reflect the actual VMS exit status, instead of the default emulation of POSIX status.
+Also see "Error Indicators".
+$OS_ERROR
+$ERRNO
+$!
+If used numerically, yields the current value of the C errno variable, with all the usual caveats. (This means that you shouldn't depend on the value of $! to be anything in particular unless you've gotten a specific error return indicating a system error.) If used an a string, yields the corresponding system error string. You can assign a number to $! to set errno if, for instance, you want "$!" to return the string for error n, or you want to set the exit value for the die() operator. (Mnemonic: What just went bang?)
+Also see "Error Indicators".
+$EXTENDED_OS_ERROR
+$^E
+Error information specific to the current operating system. At the moment, this differs from $! under only VMS, OS/2, and Win32 (and for MacPerl). On all other platforms, $^E is always just the same as $!.
+Under VMS, $^E provides the VMS status value from the last system error. This is more specific information about the last system error than that provided by $!. This is particularly important when $! is set to EVMSERR.
+Under OS/2, $^E is set to the error code of the last call to OS/2 API either via CRT, or directly from perl.
+Under Win32, $^E always returns the last error information reported by the Win32 call GetLastError() which describes the last error from within the Win32 API. Most Win32-specific code will report errors via $^E. ANSI C and Unix-like calls set errno and so most portable Perl code will report errors via $!. 
+Caveats mentioned in the description of $! generally apply to $^E, also. (Mnemonic: Extra error explanation.)
+Also see "Error Indicators".
+$EVAL_ERROR
+$@
+The Perl syntax error message from the last eval() operator. If null, the last eval() parsed and executed correctly (although the operations you invoked may have failed in the normal fashion). (Mnemonic: Where was the syntax error "at"?)
+Warning messages are not collected in this variable. You can, however, set up a routine to process warnings by setting $SIG{__WARN__} as described below.
+Also see "Error Indicators".
+$PROCESS_ID
+$PID
+$$
+The process number of the Perl running this script. You should consider this variable read-only, although it will be altered across fork() calls. (Mnemonic: same as shells.)
+$REAL_USER_ID
+$UID
+$<
+The real uid of this process. (Mnemonic: it's the uid you came from, if you're running setuid.)
+$EFFECTIVE_USER_ID
+$EUID
+$>
+The effective uid of this process. Example:
+    $< = $>;            # set real to effective uid
+    ($<,$>) = ($>,$<);  # swap real and effective uid
+(Mnemonic: it's the uid you went to, if you're running setuid.) $< and $> can be swapped only on machines supporting setreuid().
+$REAL_GROUP_ID
+$GID
+$(
+The real gid of this process. If you are on a machine that supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated list of groups you are in. The first number is the one returned by getgid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of which may be the same as the first number.
+However, a value assigned to $( must be a single number used to set the real gid. So the value given by $( should not be assigned back to $( without being forced numeric, such as by adding zero.
+(Mnemonic: parentheses are used to group things. The real gid is the group you left, if you're running setgid.)
+$EFFECTIVE_GROUP_ID
+$EGID
+$)
+The effective gid of this process. If you are on a machine that supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated list of groups you are in. The first number is the one returned by getegid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of which may be the same as the first number.
+Similarly, a value assigned to $) must also be a space-separated list of numbers. The first number sets the effective gid, and the rest (if any) are passed to setgroups(). To get the effect of an empty list for setgroups(), just repeat the new effective gid; that is, to force an effective gid of 5 and an effectively empty setgroups() list, say  $) = "5 5" .
+(Mnemonic: parentheses are used to group things. The effective gid is the group that's right for you, if you're running setgid.)
+$<, $>, $( and $) can be set only on machines that support the corresponding set[re][ug]id() routine. $( and $) can be swapped only on machines supporting setregid().
+$PROGRAM_NAME
+$0
+Contains the name of the program being executed. On some operating systems assigning to $0 modifies the argument area that the ps program sees. This is more useful as a way of indicating the current program state than it is for hiding the program you're running. (Mnemonic: same as sh and ksh.)
+Note for BSD users: setting $0 does not completely remove "perl" from the ps(1) output. For example, setting $0 to "foobar" will result in "perl: foobar (perl)". This is an operating system feature.
+$[
+The index of the first element in an array, and of the first character in a substring. Default is 0, but you could theoretically set it to 1 to make Perl behave more like awk (or Fortran) when subscripting and when evaluating the index() and substr() functions. (Mnemonic: [ begins subscripts.)
+As of release 5 of Perl, assignment to $[ is treated as a compiler directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file. Its use is highly discouraged.
+$]
+The version + patchlevel / 1000 of the Perl interpreter. This variable can be used to determine whether the Perl interpreter executing a script is in the right range of versions. (Mnemonic: Is this version of perl in the right bracket?) Example:
+    warn "No checksumming!\n" if $] < 3.019;
+See also the documentation of use VERSION and require VERSION for a convenient way to fail if the running Perl interpreter is too old.
+The use of this variable is deprecated. The floating point representation can sometimes lead to inaccurate numeric comparisons. See $^V for a more modern representation of the Perl version that allows accurate string comparisons.
+$COMPILING
+$^C
+The current value of the flag associated with the -c switch. Mainly of use with -MO=... to allow code to alter its behavior when being compiled, such as for example to AUTOLOAD at compile time rather than normal, deferred loading. See perlcc. Setting $^C = 1 is similar to calling B::minus_c.
+$DEBUGGING
+$^D
+The current value of the debugging flags. (Mnemonic: value of -D switch.)
+$SYSTEM_FD_MAX
+$^F
+The maximum system file descriptor, ordinarily 2. System file descriptors are passed to exec()ed processes, while higher file descriptors are not. Also, during an open(), system file descriptors are preserved even if the open() fails. (Ordinary file descriptors are closed before the open() is attempted.) The close-on-exec status of a file descriptor will be decided according to the value of $^F when the corresponding file, pipe, or socket was opened, not the time of the exec().
+$^H
+WARNING: This variable is strictly for internal use only. Its availability, behavior, and contents are subject to change without notice.
+This variable contains compile-time hints for the Perl interpreter. At the end of compilation of a BLOCK the value of this variable is restored to the value when the interpreter started to compile the BLOCK.
+When perl begins to parse any block construct that provides a lexical scope (e.g., eval body, required file, subroutine body, loop body, or conditional block), the existing value of $^H is saved, but its value is left unchanged. When the compilation of the block is completed, it regains the saved value. Between the points where its value is saved and restored, code that executes within BEGIN blocks is free to change the value of $^H.
+This behavior provides the semantic of lexical scoping, and is used in, for instance, the use strict pragma.
+The contents should be an integer; different bits of it are used for different pragmatic flags. Here's an example:
+    sub add_100 { $^H |= 0x100 }
+    sub foo {
+        BEGIN { add_100() }
+        bar->baz($boon);
+    }
+Consider what happens during execution of the BEGIN block. At this point the BEGIN block has already been compiled, but the body of foo() is still being compiled. The new value of $^H will therefore be visible only while the body of foo() is being compiled.
+Substitution of the above BEGIN block with:
+    BEGIN { require strict; strict->import('vars') }
+demonstrates how use strict 'vars' is implemented. Here's a conditional version of the same lexical pragma:
+    BEGIN { require strict; strict->import('vars') if $condition }
+%^H
+WARNING: This variable is strictly for internal use only. Its availability, behavior, and contents are subject to change without notice.
+The %^H hash provides the same scoping semantic as $^H. This makes it useful for implementation of lexically scoped pragmas.
+$INPLACE_EDIT
+$^I
+The current value of the inplace-edit extension. Use undef to disable inplace editing. (Mnemonic: value of -i switch.)
+$^M
+By default, running out of memory is an untrappable, fatal error. However, if suitably built, Perl can use the contents of $^M as an emergency memory pool after die()ing. Suppose that your Perl were compiled with -DPERL_EMERGENCY_SBRK and used Perl's malloc. Then
+    $^M = 'a' x (1 << 16);
+would allocate a 64K buffer for use in an emergency. See the INSTALL file in the Perl distribution for information on how to enable this option. To discourage casual use of this advanced feature, there is no English long name for this variable.
+$OSNAME
+$^O
+The name of the operating system under which this copy of Perl was built, as determined during the configuration process. The value is identical to $Config{'osname'}. See also Config and the -V command-line switch documented in perlrun.
+$PERLDB
+$^P
+The internal variable for debugging support. The meanings of the various bits are subject to change, but currently indicate:
+0x01
+Debug subroutine enter/exit.
+0x02
+Line-by-line debugging.
+0x04
+Switch off optimizations.
+0x08
+Preserve more data for future interactive inspections.
+0x10
+Keep info about source lines on which a subroutine is defined.
+0x20
+Start with single-step on.
+0x40
+Use subroutine address instead of name when reporting.
+0x80
+Report goto &subroutine as well.
+0x100
+Provide informative "file" names for evals based on the place they were compiled.
+0x200
+Provide informative names to anonymous subroutines based on the place they were compiled.
+Some bits may be relevant at compile-time only, some at run-time only. This is a new mechanism and the details may change.
+$LAST_REGEXP_CODE_RESULT
+$^R
+The result of evaluation of the last successful (?{ code }) regular expression assertion (see perlre). May be written to.
+$EXCEPTIONS_BEING_CAUGHT
+$^S
+Current state of the interpreter. Undefined if parsing of the current module/eval is not finished (may happen in $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} handlers). True if inside an eval(), otherwise false.
+$BASETIME
+$^T
+The time at which the program began running, in seconds since the epoch (beginning of 1970). The values returned by the -M, -A, and -C filetests are based on this value.
+$PERL_VERSION
+$^V
+The revision, version, and subversion of the Perl interpreter, represented as a string composed of characters with those ordinals. Thus in Perl v5.6.0 it equals chr(5) . chr(6) . chr(0) and will return true for $^V eq v5.6.0. Note that the characters in this string value can potentially be in Unicode range.
+This can be used to determine whether the Perl interpreter executing a script is in the right range of versions. (Mnemonic: use ^V for Version Control.) Example:
+    warn "No \"our\" declarations!\n" if $^V and $^V lt v5.6.0;
+See the documentation of use VERSION and require VERSION for a convenient way to fail if the running Perl interpreter is too old.
+See also $] for an older representation of the Perl version.
+$WARNING
+$^W
+The current value of the warning switch, initially true if -w was used, false otherwise, but directly modifiable. (Mnemonic: related to the -w switch.) See also warnings.
+${^WARNING_BITS}
+The current set of warning checks enabled by the use warnings pragma. See the documentation of warnings for more details.
+${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS}
+Global flag that enables system calls made by Perl to use wide character APIs native to the system, if available. This is currently only implemented on the Windows platform.
+This can also be enabled from the command line using the -C switch.
+The initial value is typically 0 for compatibility with Perl versions earlier than 5.6, but may be automatically set to 1 by Perl if the system provides a user-settable default (e.g., $ENV{LC_CTYPE}).
+The bytes pragma always overrides the effect of this flag in the current lexical scope. See bytes.
+$EXECUTABLE_NAME
+$^X
+The name that the Perl binary itself was executed as, from C's argv[0]. This may not be a full pathname, nor even necessarily in your path.
+$ARGV
+contains the name of the current file when reading from <>.
+@ARGV
+The array @ARGV contains the command-line arguments intended for the script. $#ARGV is generally the number of arguments minus one, because $ARGV[0] is the first argument, not the program's command name itself. See $0 for the command name.
+@INC
+The array @INC contains the list of places that the do EXPR, require, or use constructs look for their library files. It initially consists of the arguments to any -I command-line switches, followed by the default Perl library, probably /usr/local/lib/perl, followed by ".", to represent the current directory. If you need to modify this at runtime, you should use the use lib pragma to get the machine-dependent library properly loaded also:
+    use lib '/mypath/libdir/';
+    use SomeMod;
+@_
+Within a subroutine the array @_ contains the parameters passed to that subroutine. See perlsub.
+%INC
+The hash %INC contains entries for each filename included via the do, require, or use operators. The key is the filename you specified (with module names converted to pathnames), and the value is the location of the file found. The require operator uses this hash to determine whether a particular file has already been included.
+%ENV
+$ENV{expr}
+The hash %ENV contains your current environment. Setting a value in ENV changes the environment for any child processes you subsequently fork() off.
+%SIG
+$SIG{expr}
+The hash %SIG contains signal handlers for signals. For example:
+    sub handler {       # 1st argument is signal name
+        my($sig) = @_;
+        print "Caught a SIG$sig--shutting down\n";
+        close(LOG);
+        exit(0);
+    }
+    $SIG{'INT'}  = \&handler;
+    $SIG{'QUIT'} = \&handler;
+    ...
+    $SIG{'INT'}  = 'DEFAULT';   # restore default action
+    $SIG{'QUIT'} = 'IGNORE';    # ignore SIGQUIT
+Using a value of 'IGNORE' usually has the effect of ignoring the signal, except for the CHLD signal. See perlipc for more about this special case.
+Here are some other examples:
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = "Plumber";   # assumes main::Plumber (not recommended)
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = \&Plumber;   # just fine; assume current Plumber
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = *Plumber;    # somewhat esoteric
+    $SIG{"PIPE"} = Plumber();   # oops, what did Plumber() return??
+Be sure not to use a bareword as the name of a signal handler, lest you inadvertently call it. 
+If your system has the sigaction() function then signal handlers are installed using it. This means you get reliable signal handling. If your system has the SA_RESTART flag it is used when signals handlers are installed. This means that system calls for which restarting is supported continue rather than returning when a signal arrives. If you want your system calls to be interrupted by signal delivery then do something like this:
+    use POSIX ':signal_h';
+    my $alarm = 0;
+    sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction sub { $alarm = 1 }
+        or die "Error setting SIGALRM handler: $!\n";
+See POSIX.
+Certain internal hooks can be also set using the %SIG hash. The routine indicated by $SIG{__WARN__} is called when a warning message is about to be printed. The warning message is passed as the first argument. The presence of a __WARN__ hook causes the ordinary printing of warnings to STDERR to be suppressed. You can use this to save warnings in a variable, or turn warnings into fatal errors, like this:
+    local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { die $_[0] };
+    eval $proggie;
+The routine indicated by $SIG{__DIE__} is called when a fatal exception is about to be thrown. The error message is passed as the first argument. When a __DIE__ hook routine returns, the exception processing continues as it would have in the absence of the hook, unless the hook routine itself exits via a goto, a loop exit, or a die(). The __DIE__ handler is explicitly disabled during the call, so that you can die from a __DIE__ handler. Similarly for __WARN__.
+Due to an implementation glitch, the $SIG{__DIE__} hook is called even inside an eval(). Do not use this to rewrite a pending exception in $@, or as a bizarre substitute for overriding CORE::GLOBAL::die(). This strange action at a distance may be fixed in a future release so that $SIG{__DIE__} is only called if your program is about to exit, as was the original intent. Any other use is deprecated.
+__DIE__/__WARN__ handlers are very special in one respect: they may be called to report (probable) errors found by the parser. In such a case the parser may be in inconsistent state, so any attempt to evaluate Perl code from such a handler will probably result in a segfault. This means that warnings or errors that result from parsing Perl should be used with extreme caution, like this:
+    require Carp if defined $^S;
+    Carp::confess("Something wrong") if defined &Carp::confess;
+    die "Something wrong, but could not load Carp to give backtrace...
+         To see backtrace try starting Perl with -MCarp switch";
+Here the first line will load Carp unless it is the parser who called the handler. The second line will print backtrace and die if Carp was available. The third line will be executed only if Carp was not available.
+See "die" in perlfunc, "warn" in perlfunc, "eval" in perlfunc, and warnings for additional information.
+Error Indicators
+The variables $@, $!, $^E, and $? contain information about different types of error conditions that may appear during execution of a Perl program. The variables are shown ordered by the "distance" between the subsystem which reported the error and the Perl process. They correspond to errors detected by the Perl interpreter, C library, operating system, or an external program, respectively.
+To illustrate the differences between these variables, consider the following Perl expression, which uses a single-quoted string:
+    eval q{
+        open PIPE, "/cdrom/install |";
+        @res = <PIPE>;
+        close PIPE or die "bad pipe: $?, $!";
+    };
+After execution of this statement all 4 variables may have been set. 
+$@ is set if the string to be eval-ed did not compile (this may happen if open or close were imported with bad prototypes), or if Perl code executed during evaluation die()d . In these cases the value of $@ is the compile error, or the argument to die (which will interpolate $! and $?!). (See also Fatal, though.)
+When the eval() expression above is executed, open(), <PIPE>, and close are translated to calls in the C run-time library and thence to the operating system kernel. $! is set to the C library's errno if one of these calls fails. 
+Under a few operating systems, $^E may contain a more verbose error indicator, such as in this case, "CDROM tray not closed." Systems that do not support extended error messages leave $^E the same as $!.
+Finally, $? may be set to non-0 value if the external program /cdrom/install fails. The upper eight bits reflect specific error conditions encountered by the program (the program's exit() value). The lower eight bits reflect mode of failure, like signal death and core dump information See wait(2) for details. In contrast to $! and $^E, which are set only if error condition is detected, the variable $? is set on each wait or pipe close, overwriting the old value. This is more like $@, which on every eval() is always set on failure and cleared on success.
+For more details, see the individual descriptions at $@, $!, $^E, and $?.
+Technical Note on the Syntax of Variable Names
+Variable names in Perl can have several formats. Usually, they must begin with a letter or underscore, in which case they can be arbitrarily long (up to an internal limit of 251 characters) and may contain letters, digits, underscores, or the special sequence :: or '. In this case, the part before the last :: or ' is taken to be a package qualifier; see perlmod.
+Perl variable names may also be a sequence of digits or a single punctuation or control character. These names are all reserved for special uses by Perl; for example, the all-digits names are used to hold data captured by backreferences after a regular expression match. Perl has a special syntax for the single-control-character names: It understands ^X (caret X) to mean the control-X character. For example, the notation $^W (dollar-sign caret W) is the scalar variable whose name is the single character control-W. This is better than typing a literal control-W into your program.
+Finally, new in Perl 5.6, Perl variable names may be alphanumeric strings that begin with control characters (or better yet, a caret). These variables must be written in the form ${^Foo}; the braces are not optional. ${^Foo} denotes the scalar variable whose name is a control-F followed by two o's. These variables are reserved for future special uses by Perl, except for the ones that begin with ^_ (control-underscore or caret-underscore). No control-character name that begins with ^_ will acquire a special meaning in any future version of Perl; such names may therefore be used safely in programs. $^_ itself, however, is reserved.
+Perl identifiers that begin with digits, control characters, or punctuation characters are exempt from the effects of the package declaration and are always forced to be in package main. A few other names are also exempt:
+        ENV             STDIN
+        INC             STDOUT
+        ARGV            STDERR
+        ARGVOUT
+        SIG
+In particular, the new special ${^_XYZ} variables are always taken to be in package main, regardless of any package declarations presently in scope.
+BUGS
+Due to an unfortunate accident of Perl's implementation, use English imposes a considerable performance penalty on all regular expression matches in a program, regardless of whether they occur in the scope of use English. For that reason, saying use English in libraries is strongly discouraged. See the Devel::SawAmpersand module documentation from CPAN (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Devel/) for more information.
+Having to even think about the $^S variable in your exception handlers is simply wrong. $SIG{__DIE__} as currently implemented invites grievous and difficult to track down errors. Avoid it and use an END{} or CORE::GLOBAL::die override instead.
