NAME

English::Name - ${^ENGLISH_NAME} for magic variables

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

use English::Name;

if (${^ERRNO} =~ /denied/) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides aliases for the built-in variables whose names no one seems to like to read much like the `English` module does and is described in perlvar. However instead of using $LONG_NAME, it uses ${^LONG_NAME}, making it more obvious that these are in fact magical variables. As caret variables are super-global, this module has a global effect.
