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 category the key denotes.

  • %Type

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

  • @Type_Order

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