.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The normal way to run a Perl program is by making it directly
executable, or else by passing the name of the source file as an
argument on the command line.  (An interactive Perl environment
is also possible\*(--see perldebug for details on how to do that.)
Upon startup, Perl looks for your program in one of the following
places:
.IP "1." 4
Specified line by line via \-e or \-E
switches on the command line.
.IP "2." 4
Contained in the file specified by the first filename on the command line.
(Note that systems supporting the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR notation invoke interpreters this
way. See \*(L"Location of Perl\*(R".)
.IP "3." 4
Passed in implicitly via standard input.  This works only if there are
no filename arguments\*(--to pass arguments to a STDIN-read program you
must explicitly specify a \*(L"\-\*(R" for the program name.
.PP
With methods 2 and 3, Perl starts parsing the input file from the
beginning, unless you've specified a \*(L"\-x\*(R" switch, in which case it
scans for the first line starting with \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR and containing the word
\&\*(L"perl\*(R", and starts there instead.  This is useful for running a program
embedded in a larger message.  (In this case you would indicate the end
of the program using the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR token.)
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line is always examined for switches as the line is being
parsed.  Thus, if you're on a machine that allows only one argument
with the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line, or worse, doesn't even recognize the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line, you
still can get consistent switch behaviour regardless of how Perl was
invoked, even if \*(L"\-x\*(R" was used to find the beginning of the program.
.PP
Because historically some operating systems silently chopped off
kernel interpretation of the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line after 32 characters, some
switches may be passed in on the command line, and some may not;
you could even get a \*(L"\-\*(R" without its letter, if you're not careful.
You probably want to make sure that all your switches fall either
before or after that 32\-character boundary.  Most switches don't
actually care if they're processed redundantly, but getting a \*(L"\-\*(R"
instead of a complete switch could cause Perl to try to execute
standard input instead of your program.  And a partial \-I
switch could also cause odd results.
.PP
Some switches do care if they are processed twice, for instance
combinations of \-l and \-0.
Either put all the switches after the 32\-character boundary (if
applicable), or replace the use of \fB\-0\fR\fIdigits\fR by
\&\f(CW\*(C`BEGIN{ $/ = "\e0digits"; }\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Parsing of the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR switches starts wherever \*(L"perl\*(R" is mentioned in the line.
The sequences \*(L"\-*\*(R" and \*(L"\- \*(R" are specifically ignored so that you could,
if you were so inclined, say
.PP
.Vb 4
\&    #!/bin/sh
\&    #! \-*\- perl \-*\- \-p
\&    eval \*(Aqexec perl \-x \-wS $0 ${1+"$@"}\*(Aq
\&        if 0;
.Ve
.PP
to let Perl see the \*(L"\-p\*(R" switch.
.PP
A similar trick involves the \fIenv\fR program, if you have it.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    #!/usr/bin/env perl
.Ve
.PP
The examples above use a relative path to the perl interpreter,
getting whatever version is first in the user's path.  If you want
a specific version of Perl, say, perl5.14.1, you should place
that directly in the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line's path.
.PP
If the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line does not contain the word \*(L"perl\*(R" nor the word \*(L"indir\*(R",
the program named after the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR is executed instead of the Perl
interpreter.  This is slightly bizarre, but it helps people on machines
that don't do \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR, because they can tell a program that their \s-1SHELL\s0 is
\&\fI/usr/bin/perl\fR, and Perl will then dispatch the program to the correct
interpreter for them.
.PP
After locating your program, Perl compiles the entire program to an
internal form.  If there are any compilation errors, execution of the
program is not attempted.  (This is unlike the typical shell script,
which might run part-way through before finding a syntax error.)
.PP
If the program is syntactically correct, it is executed.  If the program
runs off the end without hitting an \fBexit()\fR or \fBdie()\fR operator, an implicit
\&\f(CWexit(0)\fR is provided to indicate successful completion.
.SS "#! and quoting on non-Unix systems"
.IX Xref "hashbang #!"
.IX Subsection "#! and quoting on non-Unix systems"
Unix's \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR technique can be simulated on other systems:
.IP "\s-1OS/2\s0" 4
.IX Item "OS/2"
Put
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    extproc perl \-S \-your_switches
.Ve
.Sp
as the first line in \f(CW\*(C`*.cmd\*(C'\fR file (\*(L"\-S\*(R" due to a bug in cmd.exe's
`extproc' handling).
.IP "MS-DOS" 4
.IX Item "MS-DOS"
Create a batch file to run your program, and codify it in
\&\f(CW\*(C`ALTERNATE_SHEBANG\*(C'\fR (see the \fIdosish.h\fR file in the source
distribution for more information).
.IP "Win95/NT" 4
.IX Item "Win95/NT"
The Win95/NT installation, when using the ActiveState installer for Perl,
will modify the Registry to associate the \fI.pl\fR extension with the perl
interpreter.  If you install Perl by other means (including building from
the sources), you may have to modify the Registry yourself.  Note that
this means you can no longer tell the difference between an executable
Perl program and a Perl library file.
.IP "\s-1VMS\s0" 4
.IX Item "VMS"
Put
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& $ perl \-mysw \*(Aqf$env("procedure")\*(Aq \*(Aqp1\*(Aq \*(Aqp2\*(Aq \*(Aqp3\*(Aq \*(Aqp4\*(Aq \*(Aqp5\*(Aq \*(Aqp6\*(Aq \*(Aqp7\*(Aq \*(Aqp8\*(Aq !
\& $ exit++ + ++$status != 0 and $exit = $status = undef;
.Ve
.Sp
at the top of your program, where \fB\-mysw\fR are any command line switches you
want to pass to Perl.  You can now invoke the program directly, by saying
\&\f(CW\*(C`perl program\*(C'\fR, or as a \s-1DCL\s0 procedure, by saying \f(CW@program\fR (or implicitly
via \fI\s-1DCL$PATH\s0\fR by just using the name of the program).
.Sp
This incantation is a bit much to remember, but Perl will display it for
you if you say \f(CW\*(C`perl "\-V:startperl"\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Command-interpreters on non-Unix systems have rather different ideas
on quoting than Unix shells.  You'll need to learn the special
characters in your command-interpreter (\f(CW\*(C`*\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\e\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`"\*(C'\fR are
common) and how to protect whitespace and these characters to run
one-liners (see \-e below).
.PP
On some systems, you may have to change single-quotes to double ones,
which you must \fInot\fR do on Unix or Plan 9 systems.  You might also
have to change a single % to a %%.
.PP
For example:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    # Unix
\&    perl \-e \*(Aqprint "Hello world\en"\*(Aq
\&
\&    # MS\-DOS, etc.
\&    perl \-e "print \e"Hello world\en\e""
\&
\&    # VMS
\&    perl \-e "print ""Hello world\en"""
.Ve
.PP
The problem is that none of this is reliable: it depends on the
command and it is entirely possible neither works.  If \fI4DOS\fR were
the command shell, this would probably work better:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    perl \-e "print <Ctrl\-x>"Hello world\en<Ctrl\-x>""
.Ve
.PP
\&\fB\s-1CMD.EXE\s0\fR in Windows \s-1NT\s0 slipped a lot of standard Unix functionality in
when nobody was looking, but just try to find documentation for its
quoting rules.
.PP
There is no general solution to all of this.  It's just a mess.
.SS "Location of Perl"
.IX Xref "perl, location of interpreter"
.IX Subsection "Location of Perl"
It may seem obvious to say, but Perl is useful only when users can
easily find it.  When possible, it's good for both \fI/usr/bin/perl\fR
and \fI/usr/local/bin/perl\fR to be symlinks to the actual binary.  If
that can't be done, system administrators are strongly encouraged
to put (symlinks to) perl and its accompanying utilities into a
directory typically found along a user's \s-1PATH,\s0 or in some other
obvious and convenient place.
.PP
In this documentation, \f(CW\*(C`#!/usr/bin/perl\*(C'\fR on the first line of the program
will stand in for whatever method works on your system.  You are
advised to use a specific path if you care about a specific version.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    #!/usr/local/bin/perl5.14
.Ve
.PP
or if you just want to be running at least version, place a statement
like this at the top of your program:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use 5.014;
.Ve
.SS "Command Switches"
.IX Xref "perl, command switches command switches"
.IX Subsection "Command Switches"
As with all standard commands, a single-character switch may be
clustered with the following switch, if any.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl \-spi.orig   # same as \-s \-p \-i.orig
.Ve
.PP
A \f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR signals the end of options and disables further option processing. Any
arguments after the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR are treated as filenames and arguments.
.PP
Switches include:
.IP "\fB\-0\fR[\fIoctal/hexadecimal\fR]" 5
.IX Xref "-0 $"
.IX Item "-0[octal/hexadecimal]"
specifies the input record separator (\f(CW$/\fR) as an octal or
hexadecimal number.  If there are no digits, the null character is the
separator.  Other switches may precede or follow the digits.  For
example, if you have a version of \fIfind\fR which can print filenames
terminated by the null character, you can say this:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    find . \-name \*(Aq*.orig\*(Aq \-print0 | perl \-n0e unlink
.Ve
.Sp
The special value 00 will cause Perl to slurp files in paragraph mode.
Any value 0400 or above will cause Perl to slurp files whole, but by convention
the value 0777 is the one normally used for this purpose.
.Sp
You can also specify the separator character using hexadecimal notation:
\&\fB\-0x\f(BI\s-1HHH...\s0\fB\fR, where the \f(CW\*(C`\f(CIH\f(CW\*(C'\fR are valid hexadecimal digits.  Unlike
the octal form, this one may be used to specify any Unicode character, even
those beyond 0xFF.  So if you \fIreally\fR want a record separator of 0777,
specify it as \fB\-0x1FF\fR.  (This means that you cannot use the \*(L"\-x\*(R" option
with a directory name that consists of hexadecimal digits, or else Perl
will think you have specified a hex number to \fB\-0\fR.)
.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-a autosplit"
.IX Item "-a"
turns on autosplit mode when used with a \*(L"\-n\*(R" or \*(L"\-p\*(R".  An implicit
split command to the \f(CW@F\fR array is done as the first thing inside the
implicit while loop produced by the \*(L"\-n\*(R" or \*(L"\-p\*(R".

The \fB\-C\fR flag controls some of the Perl Unicode features.
.Sp
As of 5.8.1, the \fB\-C\fR can be followed either by a number or a list
of option letters.  The letters, their numeric values, and effects
are as follows; listing the letters is equal to summing the numbers.

.Ve
.Sp
For example, \fB\-COE\fR and \fB\-C6\fR will both turn on UTF\-8\-ness on both
\&\s-1STDOUT\s0 and \s-1STDERR.\s0  Repeating letters is just redundant, not cumulative
nor toggling.
.Sp
The \f(CW\*(C`io\*(C'\fR options mean that any subsequent \fBopen()\fR (or similar I/O
operations) in main program scope will have the \f(CW\*(C`:utf8\*(C'\fR PerlIO layer
implicitly applied to them, in other words, \s-1UTF\-8\s0 is expected from any
input stream, and \s-1UTF\-8\s0 is produced to any output stream.  This is just
the default set via \f(CW\*(C`${^OPEN}\*(C'\fR,
with explicit layers in \fBopen()\fR and with \fBbinmode()\fR one can
manipulate streams as usual.  This has no effect on code run in modules.
.Sp
\&\fB\-C\fR on its own (not followed by any number or option list), or the
empty string \f(CW""\fR for the \*(L"\s-1PERL_UNICODE\*(R"\s0 environment variable, has the
same effect as \fB\-CSDL\fR.  In other words, the standard I/O handles and
the default \f(CW\*(C`open()\*(C'\fR layer are UTF\-8\-fied \fIbut\fR only if the locale
environment variables indicate a \s-1UTF\-8\s0 locale.  This behaviour follows
the \fIimplicit\fR (and problematic) \s-1UTF\-8\s0 behaviour of Perl 5.8.0.
(See \*(L"\s-1UTF\-8\s0 no longer default under \s-1UTF\-8\s0 locales\*(R" in perl581delta.)
.Sp
You can use \fB\-C0\fR (or \f(CW"0"\fR for \f(CW\*(C`PERL_UNICODE\*(C'\fR) to explicitly
disable all the above Unicode features.
.Sp
The read-only magic variable \f(CW\*(C`${^UNICODE}\*(C'\fR reflects the numeric value
of this setting.  This variable is set during Perl startup and is
thereafter read-only.  If you want runtime effects, use the three-arg
\&\fBopen()\fR (see \*(L"open\*(R" in perlfunc), the two-arg \fBbinmode()\fR (see \*(L"binmode\*(R" in perlfunc),
and the \f(CW\*(C`open\*(C'\fR pragma (see open).
.Sp
(In Perls earlier than 5.8.1 the \fB\-C\fR switch was a Win32\-only switch
that enabled the use of Unicode-aware \*(L"wide system call\*(R" Win32 APIs.
This feature was practically unused, however, and the command line
switch was therefore \*(L"recycled\*(R".)
.Sp
\&\fBNote:\fR Since perl 5.10.1, if the \fB\-C\fR option is used on the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line,
it must be specified on the command line as well, since the standard streams
are already set up at this point in the execution of the perl interpreter.
You can also use \fBbinmode()\fR to set the encoding of an I/O stream.

.IX Xref "-f sitecustomize sitecustomize.pl"
.IX Item "-f"
Disable executing \fI\f(CI$Config\fI{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl\fR at startup.
.Sp
Perl can be built so that it by default will try to execute
\&\fI\f(CI$Config\fI{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl\fR at startup (in a \s-1BEGIN\s0 block).
This is a hook that allows the sysadmin to customize how Perl behaves.
It can for instance be used to add entries to the \f(CW@INC\fR array to make Perl
find modules in non-standard locations.
.Sp
Perl actually inserts the following code:
.Sp
.Vb 4
\&    BEGIN {
\&        do { local $!; \-f "$Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl"; }
\&            && do "$Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl";
\&    }
.Ve
.Sp
Since it is an actual \f(CW\*(C`do\*(C'\fR (not a \f(CW\*(C`require\*(C'\fR), \fIsitecustomize.pl\fR
doesn't need to return a true value. The code is run in package \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR,
in its own lexical scope. However, if the script dies, \f(CW$@\fR will not
be set.
.Sp
The value of \f(CW$Config{sitelib}\fR is also determined in C code and not
read from \f(CW\*(C`Config.pm\*(C'\fR, which is not loaded.
.Sp
The code is executed \fIvery\fR early. For example, any changes made to
\&\f(CW@INC\fR will show up in the output of `perl \-V`. Of course, \f(CW\*(C`END\*(C'\fR
blocks will be likewise executed very late.
.Sp
To determine at runtime if this capability has been compiled in your
perl, you can check the value of \f(CW$Config{usesitecustomize}\fR.
.IP "\fB\-F\fR\fIpattern\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-F"
.IX Item "-Fpattern"
specifies the pattern to split on for \*(L"\-a\*(R". The pattern may be
surrounded by \f(CW\*(C`//\*(C'\fR, \f(CW""\fR, or \f(CW\*(Aq\*(Aq\fR, otherwise it will be put in single
quotes. You can't use literal whitespace or \s-1NUL\s0 characters in the pattern.
.Sp
\&\fB\-F\fR implicitly sets both \*(L"\-a\*(R" and \*(L"\-n\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-h\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-h"
.IX Item "-h"
prints a summary of the options.
.IP "\fB\-i\fR[\fIextension\fR]" 5
.IX Xref "-i in-place"
.IX Item "-i[extension]"
specifies that files processed by the \f(CW\*(C`<>\*(C'\fR construct are to be
edited in-place.  It does this by renaming the input file, opening the
output file by the original name, and selecting that output file as the
default for \fBprint()\fR statements.  The extension, if supplied, is used to
modify the name of the old file to make a backup copy, following these
rules:
.Sp
If no extension is supplied, and your system supports it, the original
\&\fIfile\fR is kept open without a name while the output is redirected to
a new file with the original \fIfilename\fR.  When perl exits, cleanly or not,
the original \fIfile\fR is unlinked.
.Sp
If the extension doesn't contain a \f(CW\*(C`*\*(C'\fR, then it is appended to the
end of the current filename as a suffix.  If the extension does
contain one or more \f(CW\*(C`*\*(C'\fR characters, then each \f(CW\*(C`*\*(C'\fR is replaced
with the current filename.  In Perl terms, you could think of this
as:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    ($backup = $extension) =~ s/\e*/$file_name/g;
.Ve
.Sp
This allows you to add a prefix to the backup file, instead of (or in
addition to) a suffix:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& $ perl \-pi\*(Aqorig_*\*(Aq \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA  # backup to
\&                                           # \*(Aqorig_fileA\*(Aq
.Ve
.Sp
Or even to place backup copies of the original files into another
directory (provided the directory already exists):
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& $ perl \-pi\*(Aqold/*.orig\*(Aq \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA  # backup to
\&                                               # \*(Aqold/fileA.orig\*(Aq
.Ve
.Sp
These sets of one-liners are equivalent:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& $ perl \-pi \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA          # overwrite current file
\& $ perl \-pi\*(Aq*\*(Aq \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA       # overwrite current file
\&
\& $ perl \-pi\*(Aq.orig\*(Aq \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA   # backup to \*(AqfileA.orig\*(Aq
\& $ perl \-pi\*(Aq*.orig\*(Aq \-e \*(Aqs/bar/baz/\*(Aq fileA  # backup to \*(AqfileA.orig\*(Aq
.Ve
.Sp
From the shell, saying
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    $ perl \-p \-i.orig \-e "s/foo/bar/; ... "
.Ve
.Sp
is the same as using the program:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl \-pi.orig
\&    s/foo/bar/;
.Ve
.Sp
which is equivalent to
.Sp
.Vb 10
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl
\&    $extension = \*(Aq.orig\*(Aq;
\&    LINE: while (<>) {
\&        if ($ARGV ne $oldargv) {
\&            if ($extension !~ /\e*/) {
\&                $backup = $ARGV . $extension;
\&            }
\&            else {
\&                ($backup = $extension) =~ s/\e*/$ARGV/g;
\&            }
\&            rename($ARGV, $backup);
\&            open(ARGVOUT, ">$ARGV");
\&            select(ARGVOUT);
\&            $oldargv = $ARGV;
\&        }
\&        s/foo/bar/;
\&    }
\&    continue {
\&        print;  # this prints to original filename
\&    }
\&    select(STDOUT);
.Ve
.Sp
except that the \fB\-i\fR form doesn't need to compare \f(CW$ARGV\fR to \f(CW$oldargv\fR to
know when the filename has changed.  It does, however, use \s-1ARGVOUT\s0 for
the selected filehandle.  Note that \s-1STDOUT\s0 is restored as the default
output filehandle after the loop.
.Sp
As shown above, Perl creates the backup file whether or not any output
is actually changed.  So this is just a fancy way to copy files:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&    $ perl \-p \-i\*(Aq/some/file/path/*\*(Aq \-e 1 file1 file2 file3...
\&or
\&    $ perl \-p \-i\*(Aq.orig\*(Aq \-e 1 file1 file2 file3...
.Ve
.Sp
You can use \f(CW\*(C`eof\*(C'\fR without parentheses to locate the end of each input
file, in case you want to append to each file, or reset line numbering
(see example in \*(L"eof\*(R" in perlfunc).
.Sp
If, for a given file, Perl is unable to create the backup file as
specified in the extension then it will skip that file and continue on
with the next one (if it exists).
.Sp
For a discussion of issues surrounding file permissions and \fB\-i\fR, see
\&\*(L"Why does Perl let me delete read-only files?  Why does \-i clobber
protected files?  Isn't this a bug in Perl?\*(R" in perlfaq5.
.Sp
You cannot use \fB\-i\fR to create directories or to strip extensions from
files.
.Sp
Perl does not expand \f(CW\*(C`~\*(C'\fR in filenames, which is good, since some
folks use it for their backup files:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    $ perl \-pi~ \-e \*(Aqs/foo/bar/\*(Aq file1 file2 file3...
.Ve
.Sp
Note that because \fB\-i\fR renames or deletes the original file before
creating a new file of the same name, Unix-style soft and hard links will
not be preserved.
.Sp
Finally, the \fB\-i\fR switch does not impede execution when no
files are given on the command line.  In this case, no backup is made
(the original file cannot, of course, be determined) and processing
proceeds from \s-1STDIN\s0 to \s-1STDOUT\s0 as might be expected.
.IP "\fB\-I\fR\fIdirectory\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-I @INC"
.IX Item "-Idirectory"
Directories specified by \fB\-I\fR are prepended to the search path for

.IP "\fB\-l\fR[\fIoctnum\fR]" 5
.IX Xref "-l $ $\\"
.IX Item "-l[octnum]"
enables automatic line-ending processing.  It has two separate
effects.  First, it automatically chomps \f(CW$/\fR (the input record
separator) when used with \*(L"\-n\*(R" or \*(L"\-p\*(R".  Second, it assigns \f(CW\*(C`$\e\*(C'\fR
(the output record separator) to have the value of \fIoctnum\fR so
that any print statements will have that separator added back on.
If \fIoctnum\fR is omitted, sets \f(CW\*(C`$\e\*(C'\fR to the current value of
\&\f(CW$/\fR.  For instance, to trim lines to 80 columns:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    perl \-lpe \*(Aqsubstr($_, 80) = ""\*(Aq
.Ve
.Sp
Note that the assignment \f(CW\*(C`$\e = $/\*(C'\fR is done when the switch is processed,
so the input record separator can be different than the output record
separator if the \fB\-l\fR switch is followed by a
\&\-0 switch:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    gnufind / \-print0 | perl \-ln0e \*(Aqprint "found $_" if \-p\*(Aq
.Ve
.Sp
This sets \f(CW\*(C`$\e\*(C'\fR to newline and then sets \f(CW$/\fR to the null character.

.Sp
\&\fB\-M\fR\fImodule\fR executes \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR \fImodule\fR \f(CW\*(C`;\*(C'\fR before executing your
program.  This loads the module and calls its \f(CW\*(C`import\*(C'\fR method, causing
the module to have its default effect, typically importing subroutines
or giving effect to a pragma.
You can use quotes to add extra code after the module name,
e.g., \f(CW\*(Aq\-M\f(CIMODULE\f(CW qw(foo bar)\*(Aq\fR.
.Sp
If the first character after the \fB\-M\fR or \fB\-m\fR is a dash (\fB\-\fR)
then the 'use' is replaced with 'no'.
This makes no difference for \fB\-m\fR.
.Sp
A little builtin syntactic sugar means you can also say
\&\fB\-m\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=foo,bar\fR or \fB\-M\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=foo,bar\fR as a shortcut for
\&\fB'\-M\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB qw(foo bar)'\fR.  This avoids the need to use quotes when
importing symbols.  The actual code generated by \fB\-M\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=foo,bar\fR is
\&\f(CW\*(C`use module split(/,/,q{foo,bar})\*(C'\fR.  Note that the \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR form
removes the distinction between \fB\-m\fR and \fB\-M\fR; that is,
\&\fB\-m\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=foo,bar\fR is the same as \fB\-M\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=foo,bar\fR.
.Sp
A consequence of the \f(CW\*(C`split\*(C'\fR formulation
is that \fB\-M\f(BI\s-1MODULE\s0\fB=number\fR never does a version check,
unless \f(CW\*(C`\f(CIMODULE\f(CW::import()\*(C'\fR itself is set up to do a version check, which

Note that the lines are not printed by default.  See \*(L"\-p\*(R" to have

some reason, Perl warns you about it and moves on to the next file.

Also note that \f(CW\*(C`<>\*(C'\fR passes command line arguments to

Here is an efficient way to delete all files that haven't been modified for
at least a week:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    find . \-mtime +7 \-print | perl \-nle unlink
.Ve
.Sp
This is faster than using the \fB\-exec\fR switch of \fIfind\fR because you don't
have to start a process on every filename found (but it's not faster
than using the \fB\-delete\fR switch available in newer versions of \fIfind\fR.
It does suffer from the bug of mishandling newlines in pathnames, which
you can fix if you follow the example under
\&\-0.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`BEGIN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`END\*(C'\fR blocks may be used to capture control before or after
the implicit program loop, just as in \fIawk\fR.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-p"
.IX Item "-p"
causes Perl to assume the following loop around your program, which
makes it iterate over filename arguments somewhat like \fIsed\fR:
.Sp
.Vb 6
\&  LINE:
\&    while (<>) {
\&        ...             # your program goes here
\&    } continue {
\&        print or die "\-p destination: $!\en";
\&    }
.Ve
.Sp
If a file named by an argument cannot be opened for some reason, Perl
warns you about it, and moves on to the next file.  Note that the
lines are printed automatically.  An error occurring during printing is
treated as fatal.  To suppress printing use the \*(L"\-n\*(R" switch.  A \fB\-p\fR
overrides a \fB\-n\fR switch.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`BEGIN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`END\*(C'\fR blocks may be used to capture control before or after
the implicit loop, just as in \fIawk\fR.
.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-s"
.IX Item "-s"
enables rudimentary switch parsing for switches on the command
line after the program name but before any filename arguments (or before
an argument of \fB\-\-\fR).  Any switch found there is removed from \f(CW@ARGV\fR and sets the
corresponding variable in the Perl program.  The following program
prints \*(L"1\*(R" if the program is invoked with a \fB\-xyz\fR switch, and \*(L"abc\*(R"
if it is invoked with \fB\-xyz=abc\fR.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl \-s
\&    if ($xyz) { print "$xyz\en" }
.Ve
.Sp
Do note that a switch like \fB\-\-help\fR creates the variable \f(CW\*(C`${\-help}\*(C'\fR, which is
not compliant with \f(CW\*(C`use strict "refs"\*(C'\fR.  Also, when using this option on a
script with warnings enabled you may get a lot of spurious \*(L"used only once\*(R"
warnings.
.IP "\fB\-S\fR" 5
.IX Xref "-S"
.IX Item "-S"
makes Perl use the \*(L"\s-1PATH\*(R"\s0 environment variable to search for the
program unless the name of the program contains path separators.
.Sp
On some platforms, this also makes Perl append suffixes to the
filename while searching for it.  For example, on Win32 platforms,
the \*(L".bat\*(R" and \*(L".cmd\*(R" suffixes are appended if a lookup for the
original name fails, and if the name does not already end in one
of those suffixes.  If your Perl was compiled with \f(CW\*(C`DEBUGGING\*(C'\fR turned
on, using the \-Dp switch to Perl shows how the search
progresses.
.Sp
Typically this is used to emulate \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR startup on platforms that don't
support \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR.  It's also convenient when debugging a script that uses \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR,
and is thus normally found by the shell's \f(CW$PATH\fR search mechanism.
.Sp
This example works on many platforms that have a shell compatible with
Bourne shell:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl
\&    eval \*(Aqexec /usr/bin/perl \-wS $0 ${1+"$@"}\*(Aq
\&            if 0; # ^ Run only under a shell
.Ve
.Sp
The system ignores the first line and feeds the program to \fI/bin/sh\fR,
which proceeds to try to execute the Perl program as a shell script.
The shell executes the second line as a normal shell command, and thus
starts up the Perl interpreter.  On some systems \f(CW$0\fR doesn't always
contain the full pathname, so the \*(L"\-S\*(R" tells Perl to search for the
program if necessary.  After Perl locates the program, it parses the
lines and ignores them because the check 'if 0' is never true.
If the program will be interpreted by csh, you will need
to replace \f(CW\*(C`${1+"$@"}\*(C'\fR with \f(CW$*\fR, even though that doesn't understand
embedded spaces (and such) in the argument list.  To start up \fIsh\fR rather
than \fIcsh\fR, some systems may have to replace the \f(CW\*(C`#!\*(C'\fR line with a line
containing just a colon, which will be politely ignored by Perl.  Other
systems can't control that, and need a totally devious construct that
will work under any of \fIcsh\fR, \fIsh\fR, or Perl, such as the following:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&        eval \*(Aq(exit $?0)\*(Aq && eval \*(Aqexec perl \-wS $0 ${1+"$@"}\*(Aq
\&        & eval \*(Aqexec /usr/bin/perl \-wS $0 $argv:q\*(Aq
\&                if 0; # ^ Run only under a shell
.Ve
.Sp
If the filename supplied contains directory separators (and so is an
absolute or relative pathname), and if that file is not found,
platforms that append file extensions will do so and try to look
for the file with those extensions added, one by one.
.Sp
On DOS-like platforms, if the program does not contain directory
separators, it will first be searched for in the current directory
before being searched for on the \s-1PATH.\s0  On Unix platforms, the
program will be searched for strictly on the \s-1PATH.\s0

that construct.

This switch causes Perl to dump core after compiling your
program.  You can then in theory take this core dump and turn it
into an executable file by using the \fIundump\fR program (not supplied).
This speeds startup at the expense of some disk space (which you
can minimize by stripping the executable).  (Still, a \*(L"hello world\*(R"
executable comes out to about 200K on my machine.)  If you want to
execute a portion of your program before dumping, use the \f(CW\*(C`CORE::dump()\*(C'\fR

A space (or colon) separated list of PerlIO layers. If perl is built
to use PerlIO system for \s-1IO\s0 (the default) these layers affect Perl's \s-1IO.\s0
.Sp
It is conventional to start layer names with a colon (for example, \f(CW\*(C`:perlio\*(C'\fR) to
emphasize their similarity to variable \*(L"attributes\*(R". But the code that parses
layer specification strings, which is also used to decode the \s-1PERLIO\s0
environment variable, treats the colon as a separator.
.Sp
An unset or empty \s-1PERLIO\s0 is equivalent to the default set of layers for
your platform; for example, \f(CW\*(C`:unix:perlio\*(C'\fR on Unix-like systems
and \f(CW\*(C`:unix:crlf\*(C'\fR on Windows and other DOS-like systems.
.Sp
The list becomes the default for \fIall\fR Perl's \s-1IO.\s0 Consequently only built-in
layers can appear in this list, as external layers (such as \f(CW\*(C`:encoding()\*(C'\fR) need
\&\s-1IO\s0 in order to load them!  See \*(L"open pragma\*(R" for how to add external

The default set of layers should give acceptable results on all platforms.

For Unix platforms that will be the equivalent of \*(L":unix:perlio\*(R" or \*(L":stdio\*(R".

otherwise, it uses the \*(L":unix:perlio\*(R" implementation.

On Win32 the default in this release (5.30) is \*(L":unix:crlf\*(R". Win32's \*(L":stdio\*(R"

on the version and vendor of the C compiler. Using our own \f(CW\*(C`:crlf\*(C'\fR layer as
the buffer avoids those issues and makes things more uniform.

This release (5.30) uses \f(CW\*(C`:unix\*(C'\fR as the bottom layer on Win32, and so still
uses the C compiler's numeric file descriptor routines. There is an

.IX Item "PERL_DL_NONLAZY"
Set to \f(CW"1"\fR to have Perl resolve \fIall\fR undefined symbols when it loads
a dynamic library.  The default behaviour is to resolve symbols when
they are used.  Setting this variable is useful during testing of
extensions, as it ensures that you get an error on misspelled function
names even if the test suite doesn't call them.

If using the \f(CW\*(C`use encoding\*(C'\fR pragma without an explicit encoding name, the

.IP "\s-1PERL_HASH_SEED\s0" 12
.IX Xref "PERL_HASH_SEED"
.IX Item "PERL_HASH_SEED"
(Since Perl 5.8.1, new semantics in Perl 5.18.0)  Used to override
the randomization of Perl's internal hash function. The value is expressed
in hexadecimal, and may include a leading 0x. Truncated patterns
are treated as though they are suffixed with sufficient 0's as required.
.Sp
If the option is provided, and \f(CW\*(C`PERL_PERTURB_KEYS\*(C'\fR is \s-1NOT\s0 set, then
a value of '0' implies \f(CW\*(C`PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0\*(C'\fR and any other value
implies \f(CW\*(C`PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=2\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
\&\fB\s-1PLEASE NOTE:\s0 The hash seed is sensitive information\fR. Hashes are
randomized to protect against local and remote attacks against Perl
code. By manually setting a seed, this protection may be partially or
completely lost.
.Sp
See \*(L"Algorithmic Complexity Attacks\*(R" in perlsec, \*(L"\s-1PERL_PERTURB_KEYS\*(R"\s0, and
\&\*(L"\s-1PERL_HASH_SEED_DEBUG\*(R"\s0 for more information.

.IX Xref "PERL_PERTURB_KEYS"
.IX Item "PERL_PERTURB_KEYS"
(Since Perl 5.18.0)  Set to \f(CW"0"\fR or \f(CW"NO"\fR then traversing keys
will be repeatable from run to run for the same \f(CW\*(C`PERL_HASH_SEED\*(C'\fR.
Insertion into a hash will not change the order, except to provide
for more space in the hash. When combined with setting \s-1PERL_HASH_SEED\s0
this mode is as close to pre 5.18 behavior as you can get.
.Sp
When set to \f(CW"1"\fR or \f(CW"RANDOM"\fR then traversing keys will be randomized.
Every time a hash is inserted into the key order will change in a random
fashion. The order may not be repeatable in a following program run
even if the \s-1PERL_HASH_SEED\s0 has been specified. This is the default
mode for perl.
.Sp
When set to \f(CW"2"\fR or \f(CW"DETERMINISTIC"\fR then inserting keys into a hash
will cause the key order to change, but in a way that is repeatable
from program run to program run.
.Sp
\&\fB\s-1NOTE:\s0\fR Use of this option is considered insecure, and is intended only
for debugging non-deterministic behavior in Perl's hash function. Do
not use it in production.
.Sp
See \*(L"Algorithmic Complexity Attacks\*(R" in perlsec and \*(L"\s-1PERL_HASH_SEED\*(R"\s0
and \*(L"\s-1PERL_HASH_SEED_DEBUG\*(R"\s0 for more information. You can get and set the
key traversal mask for a specific hash by using the \f(CW\*(C`hash_traversal_mask()\*(C'\fR
function from Hash::Util.

(Since Perl 5.8.1.)  Set to \f(CW"1"\fR to display (to \s-1STDERR\s0) information
about the hash function, seed, and what type of key traversal
randomization is in effect at the beginning of execution.  This, combined
with \*(L"\s-1PERL_HASH_SEED\*(R"\s0 and \*(L"\s-1PERL_PERTURB_KEYS\*(R"\s0 is intended to aid in
debugging nondeterministic behaviour caused by hash randomization.
.Sp
\&\fBNote\fR that any information about the hash function, especially the hash
seed is \fBsensitive information\fR: by knowing it, one can craft a denial-of-service
attack against Perl code, even remotely; see \*(L"Algorithmic Complexity Attacks\*(R" in perlsec

don't need to know it. See also \f(CW\*(C`hash_seed()\*(C'\fR and

.IX Item "PERL_MEM_LOG"
If your Perl was configured with \fB\-Accflags=\-DPERL_MEM_LOG\fR, setting
the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`PERL_MEM_LOG\*(C'\fR enables logging debug
messages. The value has the form \f(CW\*(C`<\f(CInumber\f(CW>[m][s][t]\*(C'\fR, where
\&\f(CW\*(C`\f(CInumber\f(CW\*(C'\fR is the file descriptor number you want to write to (2 is
default), and the combination of letters specifies that you want
information about (m)emory and/or (s)v, optionally with
(t)imestamps. For example, \f(CW\*(C`PERL_MEM_LOG=1mst\*(C'\fR logs all
information to stdout. You can write to other opened file descriptors
in a variety of ways:

Available in Perls 5.8.1 and later.  If set to \f(CW"unsafe"\fR, the pre\-Perl\-5.8.0
signal behaviour (which is immediate but unsafe) is restored.  If set
to \f(CW\*(C`safe\*(C'\fR, then safe (but deferred) signals are used.  See

Equivalent to the \-C command-line switch.  Note
that this is not a boolean variable. Setting this to \f(CW"1"\fR is not the
right way to \*(L"enable Unicode\*(R" (whatever that would mean).  You can use
\&\f(CW"0"\fR to \*(L"disable Unicode\*(R", though (or alternatively unset \s-1PERL_UNICODE\s0

If perl has been configured to not have the current directory in

Ignored if perl is run setuid or setgid.  Used only for some limited
startup randomization (hash keys) if \f(CW\*(C`\-T\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-t\*(C'\fR perl is started
with tainting enabled.
.Sp
Perl may be built to ignore this variable.
.PP
Perl also has environment variables that control how Perl handles data
specific to particular natural languages; see perllocale.
.PP
Perl and its various modules and components, including its test frameworks,
may sometimes make use of certain other environment variables.  Some of
these are specific to a particular platform.  Please consult the
appropriate module documentation and any documentation for your platform
(like perlsolaris, perllinux, perlmacosx, perlwin32, etc) for
variables peculiar to those specific situations.
.PP
Perl makes all environment variables available to the program being
executed, and passes these along to any child processes it starts.
However, programs running setuid would do well to execute the following
lines before doing anything else, just to keep people honest:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    $ENV{PATH}  = "/bin:/usr/bin";    # or whatever you need
\&    $ENV{SHELL} = "/bin/sh" if exists $ENV{SHELL};
\&    delete @ENV{qw(IFS CDPATH ENV BASH_ENV)};
