NAME

Pod::Functions - Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod

SYNOPSIS

    use Pod:Functions;
    
    my @misc_ops = @{ $Kinds{ 'Misc' } };
    my $misc_dsc = $Type_Description{ 'Misc' };

or

    perl /path/to/lib/Pod/Functions.pm

This will print a grouped list of Perl's functions, like the perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category" section.

DESCRIPTION

It exports the following variables:

%Kinds
This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the catagory the key denotes.
%Type
In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the catagory. The catagory can be a comma separated list.
%Flavor
In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short description of that function.
%Type_Description
In this hash each key represents a catagory of functions and the value is a short description of that catagory.
@Type_Order
This list of catagories is used to produce the same order as the perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category" section.
