## perldata - Perl data types

DESCRIPTION
  Variable names
  Identifier parsing

    A sigil, followed solely by digits matching \p{POSIX_Digit}, like `$0`, `$1`, or `$10000`, A sigil, followed by either a caret and a single POSIX uppercase letter, like `$^V` or `$^W`, or a sigil followed by a literal control character matching the `\p{POSIX_Cntrl}` property. Due to a historical oddity, if not running under `use utf8`, the 128 extra controls in the `[0x80-0xff]` range may also be used in length one variables. The use of a literal control character is deprecated. Support for this form will be removed in a future version of perl, Similar to the above, a sigil, followed by bareword text in brackets, where the first character is either a caret followed by an uppercase letter, or a literal control, like `${^GLOBAL_PHASE}` or `${\7LOBAL_PHASE}`. The use of a literal control character is deprecated. Support for this form will be removed in a future version of perl, A sigil followed by a single character matching the `\p{POSIX_Punct}` property, like `$!` or `%+`

## perlunicode - Unicode support in Perl

DESCRIPTION
  Important Caveats

    Safest if you `use feature 'unicode_strings'`, Input and Output Layers, `use utf8` still needed to enable UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC in scripts, `BOM`-marked scripts and UTF-16 scripts autodetected, `use encoding` needed to upgrade non-Latin-1 byte strings

  Effects of Character Semantics
  Unicode Character Properties

    `\p{All}`, `\p{Alnum}`, `\p{Any}`, `\p{ASCII}`, `\p{Assigned}`, `\p{Blank}`, `\p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical}` (Short: `\p{Dt=NonCanon}`), `\p{Graph}`, `\p{HorizSpace}`, `\p{In=*}`, `\p{PerlSpace}`, `\p{PerlWord}`, `\p{Posix...}`, `\p{Present_In: *}` (Short: `\p{In=*}`), `\p{Print}`, `\p{SpacePerl}`, `\p{Title}` and `\p{Titlecase}`, `\p{Unicode}`, `\p{VertSpace}`, `\p{Word}`, `\p{XPosix...}`

## perlunifaq - Perl Unicode FAQ

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

  To OO or not to OO?
  Designing your API

    Write simple routines to do simple things, Separate functionality from output, Provide sensible shortcuts and defaults, Naming conventions, Parameter passing

  Strictness and warnings
  Backwards compatibility
  Error handling and messages
DOCUMENTING YOUR MODULE
  POD
  README, INSTALL, release notes, changelogs

    perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install, perl Build.PL, perl Build, perl Build test, perl Build install

RELEASE CONSIDERATIONS
  Version numbering
  Pre-requisites

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

CAVEATS
TODO

  Check if passed in handles are open for read/write, Allow archives to be passed in as string, Facilitate processing an opened filehandle of a compressed archive

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

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION

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

DESCRIPTION
  Module Installation

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

  Common errors and problems

    "No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'"

  Philosophy and History

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

  Module Writing

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

  XS

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

## Module::Build::Cookbook - Examples of Module::Build Usage

DESCRIPTION
BASIC RECIPES
  Installing modules that use Module::Build
  Modifying Config.pm values
  Installing modules using the programmatic interface
  Installing to a temporary directory
  Installing to a non-standard directory
  Installing in the same location as ExtUtils::MakeMaker
  Running a single test file
ADVANCED RECIPES
  Making a CPAN.pm-compatible distribution
  Changing the order of the build process
  Adding new file types to the build process
  Adding new elements to the install process
EXAMPLES ON CPAN
  SVN-Notify-Mirror

    1. Using `auto_features`, I check to see whether two optional modules are available - SVN::Notify::Config and Net::SSH;, 2. If the S::N::Config module is loaded, I automatically generate test files for it during Build (using the `PL_files` property), 3. If the `ssh_feature` is available, I ask if the user wishes to perform the ssh tests (since it requires a little preliminary setup);, 4. Only if the user has `ssh_feature` and answers yes to the testing, do I generate a test file

DESCRIPTION

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

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
METHODS
  Class Methods
  Rules data structure

    By default, all tests are eligible to be run in parallel. Specifying any of your own rules removes this one, "First match wins". The first rule that matches a test will be the one that applies, Any test which does not match a rule will be run in sequence at the end of the run, The existence of a rule does not imply selecting a test. You must still specify the tests to run, Specifying a rule to allow tests to run in parallel does not make the run in parallel. You still need specify the number of parallel `jobs` in your Harness object
