NAME
====

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

SYNOPSIS
========

    use P5functions;   # import all P5 built-in functions supported

    use P5functions <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 chomp chop chr each hex index lcfirst length oct ord pack quotemeta
    ref rindex substr tie tied times ucfirst unpack untie

The following file test operators are also available:

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

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

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

    module      | built-in functions
    ------------+-------------------
    P5caller    | caller
    P5each      | each
    P5length    | length
    P5pack      | pack unpack
    P5ref       | ref
    P5tie       | tie, tied, untie
    P5times     | times
    P5-X        | -r -w -x -e -f -d -s -z -l
