The \f(CW\*(C`CORE\*(C'\fR package is built into +Perl, and therefore you do not need to use or +require a hypothetical "CORE" module prior to accessing routines in this +namespace. +.PP +A list of the built-in functions in Perl can be found in perlfunc. +.PP +For all Perl keywords, a \f(CW\*(C`CORE::\*(C'\fR prefix will force the built-in function +to be used, even if it has been overridden or would normally require the +feature pragma. Despite appearances, this has nothing to do with the +CORE package, but is part of Perl's syntax. +.PP +For many Perl functions, the CORE package contains real subroutines. This +feature is new in Perl 5.16. You can take references to these and make +aliases. However, some can only be called as barewords; i.e., you cannot +use ampersand syntax (\f(CW&foo\fR) or call them through references. See the +\&\f(CW\*(C`shove\*(C'\fR example above. These subroutines exist for all keywords except the following: +.PP +\&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_DATA_\|_\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`and\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`cmp\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`do\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`dump\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`else\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`elsif\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`eq\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`eval\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`for\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`foreach\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ge\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`given\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`goto\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`grep\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`gt\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`if\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`last\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`le\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`local\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`lt\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`map\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`my\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ne\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`next\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`no\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`or\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`our\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`package\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`print\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`printf\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`q\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`qq\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`qr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`qw\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`qx\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`redo\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`require\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`return\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`s\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`say\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`sort\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`state\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`sub\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`tr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`unless\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`until\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`when\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`while\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`x\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`xor\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`y\*(C'\fR +.PP +Calling with +ampersand syntax and through references does not work for the following +functions, as they have special syntax that cannot always be translated +into a simple list (e.g., \f(CW\*(C`eof\*(C'\fR vs \f(CWeof()\fR): +.PP +\&\f(CW\*(C`chdir\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`chomp\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`chop\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`defined\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`delete\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`eof\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`exec\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`exists\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`lstat\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`split\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`stat\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`truncate\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`unlink\*(C'\fR +.SH "OVERRIDING CORE FUNCTIONS" +.IX Header "OVERRIDING CORE FUNCTIONS" +To override a Perl built-in routine with your own version, you need to +import it at compile-time.
