FORMATTING AND STRUCTURE
Document structure
Formatting rules
Adding comments
Perlfunc has special rules
TONE AND STYLE
Apply one of the four
documentation modes
Assume readers’ intelligence, but not their knowledge
Use meaningful variable and symbol names in examples
Write in English, but not just for English-speakers
Omit placeholder text or commentary
Apply section-breaks and examples generously
Lead with common cases and best practices
Document Perl’s present
The documentation speaks with one voice

DESCRIPTION
Important Caveats
Safest if you "use feature 'unicode_strings'", Input and Output Layers, You must convert your non-ASCII, non−UTF−8 Perl scripts to be UTF−8, "use utf8" still needed to enable UTF−8 in scripts, UTF−16 scripts autodetected
Byte and Character Semantics
ASCII Rules versus Unicode Rules
When the string has been upgraded to UTF−8, There are additional methods for regular expression patterns
Extended Grapheme Clusters
(Logical characters)
Unicode Character Properties
"\p{All}", "\p{Alnum}", "\p{Any}", "\p{ASCII}", "\p{Assigned}", "\p{Blank}", "\p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical}" (Short: "\p{Dt=NonCanon}"), "\p{Graph}", "\p{HorizSpace}", "\p{In=*}", "\p{PerlSpace}", "\p{PerlWord}", "\p{Posix...}", "\p{Present_In: *}" (Short: "\p{In=*}"), "\p{Print}", "\p{SpacePerl}", "\p{Title}" and "\p{Titlecase}", "\p{Unicode}", "\p{VertSpace}", "\p{Word}", "\p{XPosix...}"
Comparison of "\N{...}" and "\p{name=...}"
[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]
Wildcards in Property Values
User-Defined Character Properties
User-Defined Case Mappings (for serious hackers only)
Character Encodings for Input and Output
Unicode Regular Expression Support Level
[1] "\N{U+...}" and "\x{...}", [2] "\p{...}" "\P{...}". This requirement is for a minimal list of properties. Perl supports these. See R2.7 for other properties, [3], [4], [5] "\b" "\B" meet most, but not all, the details of this requirement, but "\b{wb}" and "\B{wb}" do, as well as the stricter R2.3, [6], [7], [8] UTF−8/UTF−EBDDIC used in Perl allows not only "U+10000" to "U+10FFFF" but also beyond "U+10FFFF", [9] Unicode has rewritten this portion of UTS#18 to say that getting canonical equivalence (see UAX#15 "Unicode Normalization Forms" <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15>) is basically to be done at the programmer level. Use NFD to write both your regular expressions and text to match them against (you can use Unicode::Normalize), [10] Perl has "\X" and "\b{gcb}". Unicode has retracted their "Grapheme Cluster Mode", and recently added string properties, which Perl does not yet support, [11] see UAX#29 "Unicode Text Segmentation" <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29>,, [12] see "Wildcards in Property Values" in perlunicode above, [13] Perl supports all the properties in the Unicode Character Database (UCD). It does not yet support the listed properties that come from other Unicode sources, [14] The only optional property that Perl supports is Named Sequence. None of these properties are in the UCD

REVISION HISTORY
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?
If the string’s characters are all code point 255 or lower, Perl outputs bytes that match those code points. This is what happens with encoded strings. It can also, though, happen with unencoded strings that happen to be all code point 255 or lower, Otherwise, Perl outputs the string encoded as UTF−8. This only happens with strings you neglected to encode. Since that should not happen, Perl also throws a "wide character" warning in this case
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?

What is an "IV"?
Working with SVs
SvIV(SV*) ("IV") and SvUV(SV*) ("UV"), SvNV(SV*) ("double"), Strings are a bit complicated:, Byte string: "SvPVbyte(SV*, STRLEN len)" or SvPVbyte_nolen(SV*), UTF−8 string: "SvPVutf8(SV*, STRLEN len)" or SvPVutf8_nolen(SV*), You can also use "SvPV(SV*, STRLEN len)" or SvPV_nolen(SV*) to fetch the SV’s raw internal buffer. This is tricky, though; if your Perl string is "\xff\xff", then depending on the SV’s internal encoding you might get back a 2−byte OR a 4−byte "char*". Moreover, if it’s the 4−byte string, that could come from either Perl "\xff\xff" stored UTF−8 encoded, or Perl "\xc3\xbf\xc3\xbf" stored as raw octets. To differentiate between these you MUST look up the SV’s UTF8 bit (cf. "SvUTF8") to know whether the source Perl string is 2 characters ("SvUTF8" would be on) or 4 characters ("SvUTF8" would be off)

FAQ |
What’s the minimum perl version required to run Archive::Tar?, Isn’t Archive::Tar slow?, Isn’t Archive::Tar heavier on memory than /bin/tar?, Can you lazy-load data instead?, How much memory will an X kb tar file need?, What do you do with unsupported filetypes in an archive?, I’m using WinZip, or some other non-POSIX client, and files are not being extracted properly!, How do I extract only files that have property X from an archive?, How do I access .tar.Z files?, How do I handle Unicode strings? |

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?, How can I organize tests into subdirectories and have them run?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook, Generating *.pm files with substitutions eg of $VERSION
Common errors and problems
"No rule to make target ‘/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/config.h’, needed by ‘Makefile’"
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 tar should I use on Windows?, Which zip should I use on Windows for ’[ndg]make zipdist’?
XS |
How do 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?, XSMULTI, Separate directories, Bootstrapping |
DESIGN
MakeMaker object hierarchy
(simplified)
MakeMaker object hierarchy (real)
The MM_* hierarchy
PATCHING
make a pull request on the MakeMaker github repository, raise a issue on the MakeMaker github repository, file an RT ticket, email [email protected]

So how do I use a proxy with

I used ’lynx’ to fetch a file, but its contents
is all wrong!
Files I’m trying to fetch have reserved characters or

Obtaining and installing libnet
What is libnet ?
Which version of perl do I need ?
What other modules do I need ?
What machines support libnet ?
Where can I get the latest libnet release
Using Net::FTP
How do I download files from an
FTP server ?
How do I transfer files in binary mode ?
How can I get the size of a file on a remote FTP server ?
How can I get the modification time of a file on a remote
FTP
server ?
How can I change the permissions of a file on a remote
server ?
Can I do a reget operation like the ftp command ?
How do I get a directory listing from an FTP server ?
Changing directory to "" does not fail ?
I am behind a SOCKS firewall, but the Firewall option does
not work
?
I am behind an FTP proxy firewall, but cannot access
machines
outside ?
My ftp proxy firewall does not listen on port 21
Is it possible to change the file permissions of a file on
an FTP
server ?
I have seen scripts call a method message, but cannot find
it
documented ?
Why does Net::FTP not implement mput and mget methods
Using Net::SMTP
Why can’t the part of an
Email address after the @ be used as the
hostname ?
Why does Net::SMTP not do DNS MX lookups ?
The verify method always returns true ?
Debugging scripts
How can I debug my scripts that use Net::* modules ?

Call Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth), Given −n, if there’s a opt_n_with, it’ll call $object−>opt_n_with( ARGUMENT ) (e.g., "−n foo" => $object−>opt_n_with(’foo’). |
Ditto "−nfoo"), Otherwise (given −n) if there’s an opt_n, we’ll call it $object−>opt_n($truth) (Truth defaults to 1), Otherwise we try calling $object−>handle_unknown_option(’n’) (and we increment the error count by the return value of it), If there’s no handle_unknown_option, then we just warn, and then increment the error counter |

Rules data structure
By default, all tests are eligible to be run in parallel. Specifying any of your own rules removes this one, "First match wins". The first rule that matches a test will be the one that applies, Any test which does not match a rule will be run in sequence at the end of the run, The existence of a rule does not imply selecting a test. You must still specify the tests to run, Specifying a rule to allow tests to run in parallel does not make the run in parallel. You still need specify the number of parallel "jobs" in your Harness object
