First off, I'd like to say h4w h4w h4w. This page is made (and updated) to tell people about l33t haquerish ways
to do dope stuff in perl.
This isn't something to help you learn perl, it's for people who already know at least a bit of it and even really
good coders because I try to cover a lot of stuff people usually don't use or do. Cool thing about this page is
that I'll be including a lot of examples and the such because that seems to help lazy coders, and I have to admit
that there are a lot of lazy perl coders out there.
Is this a copy of perlfaq?
No way. perlfaq (practical extraction and report language frequently asked questions) is a completely different document.
This page and a few of the names of the different sections in this page are the same as perlfaq's because perlfaq has a
good order and topics for the links. The information in this document is also shaped differently and this is not a FAQ, nor
is it for people who are looking for something which is stated in perlfaq. This is just cool stuff I know that I thought
would be interesting to share.
Get documentation on a module (such as
'Socket'
or
'File::Find'),
pod in the perl 5.6.0 distribution (such as
'perldata'
or
'perlform'),
a perlfaq (such as
'perlfaq'
or
'perlfaq3'),
a perlhaq (such as
'perlhaq1'
or
'perlhaq3'),
or a function (such as
'print'
or
'seek'):
