re - Perl pragma to alter regular expression behaviour
'taint' mode When "use re 'taint'" is in effect, and a tainted string is the target of a regexp, the regexp memories (or values returned by the m// operator in list context) are tainted. This feature is useful when regexp operations on tainted data a...

utf8 - Perl pragma to enable/disable UTF-8 (or UTF-EBCDIC) in source code
The "use utf8" pragma tells the Perl parser to allow UTF-8 in the program text in the current lexical scope. The "no utf8" pragma tells Perl to switch back to treating the source text as literal bytes in the current lexical scope. (On EBCDIC platform...

bytes - Perl pragma to expose the individual bytes of characters
Perl's characters are stored internally as sequences of one or more bytes. This pragma allows for the examination of the individual bytes that together comprise a character. Originally the pragma was designed for the loftier goal of helping incorpora...

POSIX - Perl interface to IEEE Std 1003.1
The POSIX module permits you to access all (or nearly all) the standard POSIX 1003.1 identifiers. Many of these identifiers have been given Perl-ish interfaces. This document gives a condensed list of the features available in the POSIX module. Consu...

It is usually impossible to add new syntax to Perl without breaking some existing programs. This pragma provides a way to minimize that risk. New syntactic constructs, or new semantic meanings to older constructs, can be enabled by "use feature 'foo'...

perlop - Perl operators and precedence
In Perl, the operator determines what operation is performed, independent of the type of the operands. For example "$x + $y" is always a numeric addition, and if $x or $y do not contain numbers, an attempt is made to convert them to numbers first. Th...

Opcode - Disable named opcodes when compiling perl code
Perl code is always compiled into an internal format before execution. Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes the code to be compiled into an internal format and then, provided there was no error in the compilation, executed. Th...
