#Awk Traps
#C/C++ Traps
#Sed Traps
#Shell Traps
#Perl Traps
#Perl4 to Perl5 Traps: Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix traps, Parsing Traps, Numerical Traps, General data type traps, Context Traps - scalar, list contexts, Precedence Traps, General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc, Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps, OS Traps, DBM Traps, Unclassified Traps
#Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix traps: Symbols starting with "_" no longer forced into main, Double-colon valid package separator in variable name, 2nd and 3rd args to splice() are now in scalar context, Can't do goto into a block that is optimized away, Can't use whitespace as variable name or quote delimiter, while/if BLOCK BLOCK gone, ** binds tighter than unary minus, foreach changed when iterating over a list, split with no args behavior changed, -e behavior fixed, push returns number of elements in resulting list, Some error messages differ, split() honors subroutine args, Bugs removed
#Parsing Traps: Space between . and = triggers syntax error, Better parsing in perl 5, Function parsing, String interpolation of $#array differs, Perl guesses on map, grep followed by { if it starts BLOCK or hash ref
#Numerical Traps: Formatted output and significant digits, Auto-increment operator over signed int limit deleted, Assignment of return values from numeric equality tests doesn't work, Bitwise string ops
#General data type traps: Negative array subscripts now count from the end of array, Setting $#array lower now discards array elements, Hashes get defined before use, Glob assignment from localized variable to variable, Assigning undef to glob, Changes in unary negation (of strings), Modifying of constants prohibited, defined $var behavior changed, Variable Suicide
#Context Traps - scalar, list contexts: Elements of argument lists for formats evaluated in list context, caller() returns false value in scalar context if no caller present, Comma operator in scalar context gives scalar context to args, sprintf() prototyped as ($;@)
#Precedence Traps: LHS vs. RHS of any assignment operator, Semantic errors introduced due to precedence, Precedence of assignment operators same as the precedence of assignment, open requires parentheses around filehandle, $: precedence over $:: gone, Precedence of file test operators documented, keys, each, values are regular named unary operators
#General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc.: s'$lhs'$rhs' interpolates on either side, m//g attaches its state to the searched string, m//o used within an anonymous sub, $+ isn't set to whole match, Substitution now returns null string if it fails, s`lhs`rhs` is now a normal substitution, Stricter parsing of variables in regular expressions, m?x? matches only once, Failed matches don't reset the match variables
#Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps: Barewords that used to look like strings look like subroutine calls, Reverse is no longer allowed as the name of a sort subroutine, warn() won't let you specify a filehandle
#OS Traps: SysV resets signal handler correctly, SysV seek() appends correctly
#Interpolation Traps: @ always interpolates an array in double-quotish strings, Double-quoted strings may no longer end with an unescaped $, Arbitrary expressions are evaluated inside braces within double quotes, $$x now tries to dereference $x, Creation of hashes on the fly with eval "EXPR" requires protection, Bugs in earlier perl versions, Array and hash brackets during interpolation, Interpolation of \$$foo{bar}, qq() string passed to eval will not find string terminator
#DBM Traps: Perl5 must have been linked with same dbm/ndbm as the default for dbmopen(), DBM exceeding limit on the key/value size will cause perl5 to exit immediately
#Unclassified Traps: require/do trap using returned value, split on empty string with LIMIT specified

#perlunicode - Unicode support in Perl

#DESCRIPTION

#Important Caveats: Input and Output Layers, Regular Expressions, 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
#Byte and Character Semantics
#Effects of Character Semantics
#Unicode Character Properties: \p{All}, \p{Alnum}, \p{Any}, \p{Assigned}, \p{Blank}, \p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical} (Short: \p{Dt=NonCanon}), \p{Graph}, \p{HorizSpace}, \p{In=*}, \p{PerlSpace}, \p{PerlWord}, \p{PosixAlnum}, \p{PosixAlpha}, \p{PosixBlank}, \p{PosixCntrl}, \p{PosixDigit}, \p{PosixGraph}, \p{PosixLower}, \p{PosixPrint}, \p{PosixPunct}, \p{PosixSpace}, \p{PosixUpper}, \p{Present_In: *} (Short: \p{In=*}), \p{Print}, \p{SpacePerl}, \p{VertSpace}, \p{Word}

#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?

#perluniprops - Index of Unicode Version 5.2.0 properties in Perl

#DESCRIPTION

#Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}

Single form (\p{name}) tighter rules:, white space adjacent to a non-word character, underscores separating digits in numbers, Compound form (\p{name=value} or \p{name:value}) tighter rules:, Obsolete, Stabilized, Deprecated, * is a wild-card, (\d+) in the info column gives the number of code points matched by this property, D means this is deprecated, O means this is obsolete, S means this is stabilized, T means tighter (stricter) name matching applies, X means use of this form is discouraged

#Legal \p{} and \P{} constructs that match no characters: \p{Canonical_Combining_Class=Attached_Below_Left}, \p{Joining_Type=Left_Joining}

#Before you start
#The API
#Stability
#Documentation
#Release considerations

#BEFORE YOU START WRITING A MODULE

#Has it been done before?
#Do one thing and do it well
#What's in a name?

#DESIGNING AND WRITING YOUR MODULE

#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
#Testing
#Packaging
#Licensing

#COMMON PITFALLS

#Reinventing the wheel

#perlhack - How to hack at the Perl internals

#DESCRIPTION

Does concept match the general goals of Perl?, Where is the implementation?, Backwards compatibility, Could it be a module instead?, Is the feature generic enough?, Does it potentially introduce new bugs?, Does it preclude other desirable features?, Is the implementation robust?, Is the implementation generic enough to be portable?, Is the implementation tested?, Is there enough documentation?, Is there another way to do it?, Does it create too much work?, Patches speak louder than words

#FAQ

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

#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 zip should I use on Windows for '[nd]make zipdist'?
#XS: How to 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?

#SYNOPSIS

#DESCRIPTION

#The Problem
#A Solution
#Disabling or changing <no> behaviour
#All-in-one interface
#Filtering only specific components of source code: "code", "code_no_comments", "executable", "executable_no_comments", "quotelike", "string", "regex", "all"
#Filtering only the code parts of source code: Most source code ceases to be grammatically correct when it is broken up into the pieces between string literals and regexes. So the 'code' and 'code_no_comments' component filter behave slightly differently from the other partial filters described in the previous section.

#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
