perlunifaq - Perl Unicode FAQ

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?

DB_File - Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION: DB_HASH , DB_BTREE , DB_RECNO; Using DB_File with Berkeley DB version 2 or greater; Interface to Berkeley DB; Opening a Berkeley DB Database File; Default Parameters; In Memory Databases
DB_HASH: A Simple Example
DB_BTREE: Changing the BTREE sort order; Handling Duplicate Keys; The get_dup() Method; The find_dup() Method; The del_dup() Method; Matching Partial Keys
DB_RECNO: The 'bval' Option; A Simple Example; Extra RECNO Methods; $X->push(list) ;, $value = $X->pop ;, $X->shift, $X->unshift(list) ;, $X->length, $X->splice(offset, length, elements);; Another Example
THE API INTERFACE: $status = $X->get($key, $value [, $flags]) ;, $status = $X->put($key, $value [, $flags]) ;, $status = $X->del($key [, $flags]) ;, $status = $X->fd ;, $status = $X->seq($key, $value, $flags) ;, $status = $X->sync([$flags]) ;
DBM FILTERS: filter_store_key, filter_store_value, filter_fetch_key, filter_fetch_value; The Filter; An Example -- the NULL termination problem.; Another Example -- Key is a C int.
HINTS AND TIPS: Locking: The Trouble with fd; Safe ways to lock a database; Tie::DB_Lock, Tie::DB_LockFile, DB_File::Lock; Sharing Databases With C Applications; The untie() Gotcha
COMMON QUESTIONS: Why is there Perl source in my database?; How do I store complex data structures with DB_File?; What does "Invalid Argument" mean?; What does "Bareword 'DB_File' not allowed" mean?

DESCRIPTION: Module Installation; How do I install a module into my home directory?, How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?, How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without installing it?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook; 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?

Getopt::Long - Extended processing of command line options

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Command Line Options, an Introduction
Getting Started with Getopt::Long: Simple options; A little bit less simple options; Mixing command line option with other arguments; Options with values; Options with multiple values; Options with hash values; User-defined subroutines to handle options; Options with multiple names; Case and abbreviations; Summary of Option Specifications; !, +, s, i, o, f, : type [ desttype ], : number [ desttype ], : + [ desttype ]
Advanced Possibilities: Object oriented interface; Thread Safety; Documentation and help texts; Parsing options from an arbitrary array; Parsing options from an arbitrary string; Storing options values in a hash; Bundling; The lonesome dash; Argument callback
Configuring Getopt::Long: default, posix_default, auto_abbrev, getopt_compat, gnu_compat, gnu_getopt, require_order, permute, bundling (default: disabled), bundling_override (default: disabled), ignore_case (default: enabled), ignore_case_always (default: disabled), auto_version (default:disabled), auto_help (default:disabled), pass_through (default: disabled), prefix, prefix_pattern, long_prefix_pattern, debug (default: disabled)
Exportable Methods: VersionMessage, "-message", "-msg", "-exitval", "-output", HelpMessage
Return values and Errors
Legacy: Default destinations; Alternative option starters; Configuration variables
Tips and Techniques: Pushing multiple values in a hash option
Troubleshooting: GetOptions does not return a false result when an option is not supplied; GetOptions does not split the command line correctly; Undefined subroutine &main::GetOptions called; How do I put a "-?" option into a Getopt::Long?

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; Modifying an action; Adding an action; Bundling Module::Build
