=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
You should I<not> use this module in programs intended to be portable
|
|
among Perl versions, programs that must perform regular expression
|
|
matching operations efficiently, or libraries intended for use with
|
|
such programs. In a sense, this module is deprecated. The reasons
|
|
for this have to do with implementation details of the Perl
|
|
interpreter which are too thorny to go into here. Perhaps someday
|
|
they will be fixed to make "C<use English>" more practical.
|
|
|
|
This module provides aliases for the built-in variables whose
|
|
names no one seems to like to read. Variables with side-effects
|
|
which get triggered just by accessing them (like $0) will still
|
|
be affected.
|
|
|
|
For those variables that have an B<awk> version, both long
|
|
and short English alternatives are provided. For example,
|
|
the C<$/> variable can be referred to either $RS or
|
|
$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR if you are using the English module.
|
|
|
|
See L<perlvar> for a complete list of these.
