NAME

Pod::Functions - Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod

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 "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.

DESCRIPTION

It exports the following variables:

%Kinds

This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the catagory the key denotes.

%Type

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the catagory. The catagory can be a comma separated list.

%Flavor

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short description of that function.

%Type_Description

In this hash each key represents a catagory of functions and the value is a short description of that catagory.

@Type_Order

This list of catagories is used to produce the same order as the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.
