NAME
builtins - Install all the new builtins from the builtin namespace
VERSION
This document describes builtins version 0.000001
SYNOPSIS
use v5.36; # Or later
use builtins; # Loads all new builtins into lexical scope
# So now we can write...
if (reftype($x) eq 'ARRAY' || blessed($x) {
say refaddr($x);
if (is_weak($x)) {
unweaken($x);
say ceil( refaddr(($x)) / floor($y) );
weaken($x);
say trim($description);
}
}
no builtins; # And now they're all gone!DESCRIPTION
Perl 5.36 introduced numerous new built-in functions to the core. Unfortunately, for backwards compatibility, none of them are automatically available. And all of them are experimental until Perl 5.40 (and then only if you actual specify use v5.40).
Which means, if you want them all in Perl 5.36 or 5.38, you have to preface your code with:
use experimental 'builtin';
use builtin qw(
ceil floor trim
true false is_bool
weaken unweaken is_weak
blessed refaddr reftype indexed
created_as_string created_as_number
);Or you can use this module and get the same effect with just:
use builtins;INTERFACE
None.
You simply use the module and it takes care of installing every available builtin built-in into the current lexical scope (just like a use builtin qw(...) would). It also turns off the "experimental" warnings about each built-in it installs.
Or you write no builtins and they are all removed.
DIAGNOSTICS
None.
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
builtins requires no configuration files or environment variables.
DEPENDENCIES
builtins requires Perl 5.36 or later. It has no other dependencies.
INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
It is specifically compatible with builtin, so you can still use builtins if you've already said use builtin (and vice versa).
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
No bugs have been reported.
