package Pod::Functions; use strict; =head1 NAME Pod::Functions - Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod =head1 SYNOPSIS use Pod::Functions; my @misc_ops = @{ $Kinds{ 'Misc' } }; my $misc_dsc = $Type_Description{ 'Misc' }; or perl /path/to/lib/Pod/Functions.pm This will print a grouped list of Perl's functions, like the L<perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category"> section. =head1 DESCRIPTION It exports the following variables: =over 4 =item %Kinds This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the category the key denotes. =item %Type In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the category. The category can be a comma separated list. =item %Flavor In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short description of that function. =item %Type_Description In this hash each key represents a category of functions and the value is a short description of that category. =item @Type_Order This list of categories is used to produce the same order as the L<perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category"> section. =back =cut our $VERSION = '1.13'; require Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT = qw(%Kinds %Type %Flavor %Type_Description @Type_Order); our(%Kinds, %Type, %Flavor, %Type_Description, @Type_Order); foreach ( [String => 'Functions for SCALARs or strings'], [Regexp => 'Regular expressions and pattern matching'], [Math => 'Numeric functions'], [ARRAY => 'Functions for real @ARRAYs'], [LIST => 'Functions for list data'], [HASH => 'Functions for real %HASHes'], ['I/O' => 'Input and output functions'], [Binary => 'Functions for fixed-length data or records'], [File => 'Functions for filehandles, files, or directories'], [Flow => 'Keywords related to the control flow of your Perl program'], [Namespace => 'Keywords related to scoping'], [Misc => 'Miscellaneous functions'], [Process => 'Functions for processes and process groups'], [Modules => 'Keywords related to Perl modules'], [Objects => 'Keywords related to classes and object-orientation'], [Socket => 'Low-level socket functions'], [SysV => 'System V interprocess communication functions'], [User => 'Fetching user and group info'], [Network => 'Fetching network info'], [Time => 'Time-related functions'], ) { push @Type_Order, $_->[0]; $Type_Description{$_->[0]} = $_->[1]; }; while (<DATA>) { chomp; s/^#.*//; next unless $_; my($name, @data) = split "\t", $_; $Flavor{$name} = pop @data; $Type{$name} = join ',', @data; for my $t (@data) { push @{$Kinds{$t}}, $name; } } close DATA; my( $typedesc, $list ); unless (caller) { foreach my $type ( @Type_Order ) { $list = join(", ", sort @{$Kinds{$type}}); $typedesc = $Type_Description{$type} .
