NAME
====

P5built-ins - Implement Perl 5's built-in functions

SYNOPSIS
========

    use P5built-ins;   # import all P5 built-in functions supported

    use P5built-ins <tie untie>;  # only import specific ones

    tie my @a, Foo;

DESCRIPTION
===========

This module provides an easy way to import a growing number of built-in functions of Perl 5 in Perl 6. Currently supported at:

    caller chdir chomp chop chr closedir defined each endgrent endnetent
    endprotoent endpwent endservent fc fileno getgrent getgrgid getgrnam
    getlogin getnetbyaddr getnetbyname getnetent getpgrp getppid getpriority
    getprotobyname getprotobynumber getprotoent getpwent getpwnam getpwuid
    getservbyname getservbyport getservent gmtime hex index lc lcfirst length
    localtime oct opendir ord pack pop print printf push quotemeta rand readdir
    readlink ref reset reverse rewinddir rindex say seek seekdir setgrent
    setnetent setpriority setprotoent setpwent setservent shift sleep study
    substr telldir tie tied times uc ucfirst undef unpack unshift untie

The following file test operators are also available:

    -r -w -x -e -f -d -s -z -l

And the following terms:

    __FILE__ __LINE__ __PACKAGE__ __SUB__ SEEK_CUR SEEK_END SEEK_SET
    STDERR STDIN STDOUT

PORTING CAVEATS
===============

Please look at the porting caveats of the underlying modules that actually provide the functionality:

    module        | built-in functions
    --------------+-------------------
    P5caller      | caller
    P5chdir       | chdir
    P5defined     | defined undef
    P5each        | each
    P5fileno      | fileno
    P5getpriority | getpriority setpriority getppid getpgrp
    P5length      | length
    P5localtime   | localtime gmtime
    P5opendir     | opendir readdir telldir seekdir rewinddir closedir
    P5pack        | pack unpack
    P5print       | print printf say
    P5rand        | rand
    P5readlink    | readlink
    P5ref         | ref
    P5reset       | reset
    P5reverse     | reverse
    P5study       | study
    P5tie         | tie, tied, untie
    P5times       | times
    P5-X          | -r -w -x -e -f -d -s -z -l
