#!/usr/bin/perl =pod This document sits aside the perlfaq files as a scratchpad for things that should change, but for some reason haven't. Please use this syntax (and leave the committer annotation to subversion): perlfaq - Severity ! - important change needed soon ? - something that might need work, but not sure . - change this at some point, but no big deal & - needs a code change " - needs a prose change \ - backwards compatibility change (e.g. for 5.6) / - forwards compatibility change (e.g. for 5.10) # - resolved, but keep in list anyway just in case - - candidate for deletion + - candidate for addition For example: Important change to text: !"perlfaq5 - The question says foo, but should say bar Is that code right: ?&perlfaq4 - Does that really calculate foo? Delete this question: -perlfaq3 - Question "How do I foo?" no longer needed with Perl5 Add this question +perlfaq1 - Add "Why Doens't anyone ever listen to me?" =cut # put some parsing, reporting code here __END__ ?perlfaq7 - remove Switch.pm mention ?perlfaq8 - FAQ 8.43 How do I open a file without blocking? see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_frm/thread/54a2b857dbbb23b1/4d96198cfd1214b0?lnk=st&q=FAQ+8.43+How+do+I+open+a+file+without+blocking%3F&rnum=1#4d96198cfd1214b0
