<p>On a Unix-like system, these documentation files will usually also be available as manpages for use with the <i>man</i> program.</p>
<p>Some documentation is not available as man pages, so if a cross-reference is not found by man, try it with <a>cperldoc</a>. Perldoc can also take you directly to documentation for functions (with the <b>-f</b> switch). See <code>cperldoc --help</code> (or <code>cperldoc perldoc</code> or <code>man cperldoc</code>) for other helpful options <a>cperldoc</a> has to offer.</p>
<p>In general, if something strange has gone wrong with your program and you're not sure where you should look for help, try making your code comply with <b>use strict</b> and <b>use warnings</b>. These will often point out exactly where the trouble is.</p>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>Perl officially stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language, except when it doesn't.</p>
<p>Perl was originally a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It quickly became a good language for many system management tasks. Over the years, Perl has grown into a general-purpose programming language. It's widely used for everything from quick "one-liners" to full-scale application development.</p>
<p>The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of <b>sed</b>, <b>awk</b>, and <b>sh</b>, making it familiar and easy to use for Unix users to whip up quick solutions to annoying problems. Its general-purpose programming facilities support procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms, making Perl a comfortable language for the long haul on major projects, whatever your bent.</p>
<p>Perl's roots in text processing haven't been forgotten over the years. It still boasts some of the most powerful regular expressions to be found anywhere, and its support for Unicode text is world-class. It handles all kinds of structured text, too, through an extensive collection of extensions. Those libraries, collected in the CPAN, provide ready-made solutions to an astounding array of problems. When they haven't set the standard themselves, they steal from the best -- just like Perl itself.</p>
<h1 id="AVAILABILITY">AVAILABILITY</h1>
<p>Perl is available for most operating systems, including virtually all Unix-like platforms. See <a href="/cperl/perlport.html#Supported-Platforms">"Supported Platforms" in perlport</a> for a listing.</p>

<h1 id="DIAGNOSTICS">DIAGNOSTICS</h1>
<p>Using the <code>use strict</code> pragma ensures that all variables are properly declared and prevents other misuses of legacy Perl features.</p>
<p>The <code>use warnings</code> pragma produces some lovely diagnostics. One can also use the <b>-w</b> flag, but its use is normally discouraged, because it gets applied to all executed Perl code, including that not under your control.</p>
<p>See <a href="/cperl/perldiag.html">perldiag</a> for explanations of all Perl's diagnostics. The <code>use diagnostics</code> pragma automatically turns Perl's normally terse warnings and errors into these longer forms.</p>
<p>Compilation errors will tell you the line number of the error, with an indication of the next token or token type that was to be examined. (In a script passed to Perl via <b>-e</b> switches, each <b>-e</b> is counted as one line.)</p>
<p>Setuid scripts have additional constraints that can produce error messages such as "Insecure dependency". See <a href="/cperl/perlsec.html">perlsec</a>.</p>
<p>Did we mention that you should definitely consider using the <b>use warnings</b> pragma?</p>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
<p>The behavior implied by the <b>use warnings</b> pragma is not mandatory.</p>
<p>Perl is at the mercy of your machine's definitions of various operations such as type casting, atof(), and floating-point output with sprintf().</p>
<p>If your stdio requires a seek or eof between reads and writes on a particular stream, so does Perl. (This doesn't apply to sysread() and syswrite().)</p>
<p>While none of the built-in data types have any arbitrary size limits (apart from memory size), there are still a few arbitrary limits: a given variable name may not be longer than 251 characters. Line numbers displayed by diagnostics are internally stored as short integers, so they are limited to a maximum of 65535 (higher numbers usually being affected by wraparound).</p>
<p>For Perl5 you may enter your bug reports (be sure to include full configuration information as output by the myconfig program in the perl source tree, or by <code>cperl -V</code>) at <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues">https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues</a>. If you've succeeded in compiling cperl, the <code>cperlbug</code> script in the <i>utils/</i> subdirectory can be used to help send in a bug report, but this does not work yet.</p>
<p>Perl actually stands for Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister, but don't tell anyone I said that.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The Perl motto is "There's more than one way to do it." Divining how many more is left as an exercise to the reader.</p>
<p>The three principal virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. See the Camel Book for why.</p>
