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 study 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
    P5study     | study
    P5tie       | tie, tied, untie
