NAME

builtins - Install all the new builtins from the builtin namespace

VERSION

This document describes builtins version 0.000001

SYNOPSIS

use v5.36;     # Or later
use builtins;  # Loads all new builtins into lexical scope

# So now we can write...
if (reftype($x) eq 'ARRAY' || blessed($x) {
    say refaddr($x);
    if (is_weak($x)) {
        unweaken($x);
        say ceil( refaddr(($x)) / floor($y) );
        weaken($x);
        say trim($description);
    }
}

DESCRIPTION

Perl 5.36 introduced numerous new built-in functions to the core. Unfortunately, for backwards compatibility, none of them are automatically available. And all of them are still experimental.

Which means, if you want them all, you have to preface your code with:

use experimental 'builtin';
use builtin qw(
    ceil    floor     trim
    true    false     is_bool
    weaken  unweaken  is_weak
    blessed refaddr   reftype   indexed
    created_as_string created_as_number
);

Or you can use this module and get the same effect with just:

use builtins;

INTERFACE

None.

You simply use the module and it takes care of installing every available builtin built-in into the current lexical scope (just like a use builtin qw(...) would). It also turns off the "experimental" warnings about each built-in it installs.

DIAGNOSTICS

None.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

builtins requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

builtins requires Perl 5.36 or later. It has no other dependencies.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

It is specifically compatible with builtin, so you can still use builtins if you've already said use builtin (and vice versa).

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.
