NAME

List::Gen::Builtins - perl builtin functions with partial + lazy application

SYNOPSIS

this module implements most of the perl functions with fn() from List::Gen::Lazy. you can import functions from this module as follows:

EXPORT

builtin's with prototypes have the same prototype when exported from this module.

to export the builtins in ucfirst:

use List::Gen::Builtins;  # ucfirst is default

my $int = Int my $float;

$float = 4.333;

say $int; # 4

or to export prefixed with '_' :

use List::Gen::Builtins ':_';

my $int = _int my $float;

or to export prefixed with 'lazy_' :

use List::Gen::Builtins ':lazy';

my $int = lazy_int my $float;

to export the builtins as like named userspace functions:

use List::Gen::Builtins ':userspace';

my $int = &int(my $float);

note that as always, when a user function is called with & , prototypes are disabled, this means that you must call functions like &shift as:

my $x = &shift(\@array);  # must use parens and manually take the reference

the implemented functions are:

abs accept alarm atan2 bind binmode bless caller chdir chmod chomp chop
chown chr chroot close closedir connect cos crypt dbmclose dbmopen default
defined die do endgrent endhostent endnetent endprotoent endpwent
endservent eof eval exec exit exp fcntl fileno flock fork formline getc
getgrent getgrgid getgrnam gethostbyaddr gethostbyname gethostent getlogin
getnetbyaddr getnetbyname getnetent getpeername getpgrp getppid getpriority
getprotobyname getprotobynumber getprotoent getpwent getpwnam getpwuid
getservbyname getservbyport getservent getsockname getsockopt glob gmtime
goto hex index int ioctl join keys kill lc lcfirst length link listen
localtime lock log lstat mkdir msgctl msgget msgrcv msgsnd oct open opendir
ord pack pipe pop pos print printf prototype push quotemeta rand read
readdir readline readlink readpipe recv ref rename require reset reverse
rewinddir rindex rmdir say scalar seek seekdir select semctl semget semop
send setgrent sethostent setnetent setpgrp setpriority setprotoent setpwent
setservent setsockopt shift shmctl shmget shmread shmwrite shutdown sin
sleep socket socketpair splice split sprintf sqrt srand stat study substr
symlink syscall sysopen sysread sysseek system syswrite tell telldir tied
time times truncate uc ucfirst umask undef unlink unpack unshift untie utime
values vec wait waitpid wantarray warn when write

just because they have been implemented, that says nothing about their usefulness as a lazy function.

FUNCTIONS

wrap NAME OPTIONS
wrap CODE OPTIONS

wrap is used to automatically wrap the builtin functions in a fn(...) function that calls the builtin with the arguments passed in.

*lazy_open = wrap 'open',
    styles => {
        1   => ['\@'],
        2   => ['\@', '$',],
        3   => ['\@', '$', '$'],
        '@' => ['\@', '$', '$', '@']
    },
    proto => '\@;$$@';
    arity => 1,
    returns => 1;

all of the options are optional, in fact, with a proper prototype, wrap will determine everything itself:

*lazy_open = wrap 'open';  # same as with the options above

wrap does not install anything, it returns the lazy coderef.
