L is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing extensions. Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older, unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release. Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127). And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant. Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L) or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code) ignore the EBCDIC possibility. For almost all purposes the differences are transparent. As an example, under EBCDIC, instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so whenever this documentation refers to C (and variants of that name, including in function names), it also (essentially transparently) means C. But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes than in UTF-8. Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all 256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to US-ASCII. The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive. _EOB_ =head1 AUTHORS Until May 1997, this document was maintained by Jeff Okamoto . It is now maintained as part of Perl itself.
