NAME

Raku port of Perl's built-ins

SYNOPSIS

use P5built-ins;   # import all P5 built-in functions supported

use P5built-ins <tie untie>;  # only import specific ones

tie my @a, Foo;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an easy way to import a growing number of built-in functions of Perl in Raku Currently supported at:

abs caller chdir chomp chop chr closedir cos crypt defined each endgrent
  endnetent endprotoent endpwent endservent exp fc fileno getgrent getgrgid
  getgrnam getlogin getnetbyaddr getnetbyname getnetent getpgrp getppid
  getpriority getprotobyname getprotobynumber getprotoent getpwent getpwnam
  getpwuid getservbyname getservbyport getservent gmtime hex index int lc
  lcfirst length localtime log oct opendir ord pack pop print printf push
  quotemeta rand readdir readlink ref reset reverse rewinddir rindex say
  seek seekdir setgrent setnetent setpriority setprotoent setpwent setservent
  shift sin sleep sqrt study substr telldir tie tied times uc ucfirst undef
  unpack unshift untie

The following file test operators are also available:

-r -w -x -e -f -d -s -z -l

And the following terms:

__FILE__ __LINE__ __PACKAGE__ __SUB__ SEEK_CUR SEEK_END SEEK_SET
  STDERR STDIN STDOUT

PORTING CAVEATS
