integer - Perl pragma to use integer arithmetic instead of floating point
This tells the compiler to use integer operations from here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK. On many machines, this doesn't matter a great deal for most computations, but on those without floating point hardware, it can make a big difference in per...

B - The Perl Compiler Backend
The "B" module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the "backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not require knowledge of this module: see the O module for th...

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...

mro - Method Resolution Order
The "mro" namespace provides several utilities for dealing with method resolution order and method caching in general. These interfaces are only available in Perl 5.9.5 and higher. See MRO::Compat on CPAN for a mostly forwards compatible implementati...

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...

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...
