NAME
perlvar - Perl predefined variables
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predefined Names
The following names have special meaning to Perl. Most of the punctuational
names have reasonable mnemonics, or analogues in one of the shells.
Nevertheless, if you wish to use the long variable names, you just need to
say
use English;
at the top of your program. This will alias all the short names to the long
names in the current package. Some of them even have medium names,
generally borrowed from awk.
To go a step further, those variables that depend on the currently selected
filehandle may instead be set by calling an object method on the FileHandle
object. (Summary lines below for this contain the word HANDLE.) First you
must say
use FileHandle;
after which you may use either
method HANDLE EXPR
or
HANDLE->method(EXPR)
Each of the methods returns the old value of the FileHandle attribute. The
methods each take an optional EXPR, which if supplied specifies the new
value for the FileHandle attribute in question. If not supplied, most of
the methods do nothing to the current value, except for autoflush() , which
will assume a 1 for you, just to be different.
A few of these variables are considered ``read-only''. This means that if
you try to assign to this variable, either directly or indirectly through a
reference, you'll raise a run-time exception.
$ARG
$_ The default input and pattern-searching space. The following pairs are
equivalent:
while (<>) {...} # only equivalent in while!
while ($_ = <>) {...}
/^Subject:/
$_ =~ /^Subject:/
tr/a-z/A-Z/
$_ =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/
chop
chop($_)
Here are the places where Perl will assume $_ even if you don't use
it:
o Various unary functions, including functions like ord() and int()
, as well as the all file tests (-f, -d ) except for -t, which
defaults to STDIN.
o Various list functions like print() and unlink() .
o The pattern matching operations m// , s/// , and tr/// when used
without an =~ operator.
o * The default iterator variable in a foreach loop if no other
variable is supplied.
o * The implicit iterator variable in the grep() and map()
functions.
o * The default place to put an input record when a <FH>
operation's result is tested by itself as the sole criterion of a
while test. Note that outside of a while test, this will not
happen.
(Mnemonic: underline is understood in certain operations.).
* $<digit> Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of
parentheses in the last pattern matched, not counting patterns matched
in nested blocks that have been exited already. (Mnemonic: like
\digit.) These variables are all read-only.
* $MATCH
* $& The string matched by the last successful pattern match (not
counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval() enclosed by the
current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: like & in some editors.) This variable is
read-only.
* $PREMATCH
* $` The string preceding whatever was matched by the last successful
pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or eval
enclosed by the current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: ` often precedes a quoted
string.) This variable is read-only.
* $POSTMATCH
* $' The string following whatever was matched by the last successful
pattern match (not counting any matches hidden within a BLOCK or
eval() enclosed by the current BLOCK). (Mnemonic: ' often follows a
quoted string.) Example:
$_ = 'abcdefghi';
/def/;
print "$`:$&:$'\n"; # prints abc:def:ghi
This variable is read-only.
* $LAST_PAREN_MATCH
* $+ The last bracket matched by the last search pattern. This is useful
if you don't know which of a set of alternative patterns matched. For
example:
/Version: (.*)|Revision: (.*)/ && ($rev = $+);
(Mnemonic: be positive and forward looking.) This variable is
read-only.
* $MULTILINE_MATCHING
* $* Set to 1 to do multiline matching within a string, 0 to tell Perl
that it can assume that strings contain a single line, for the purpose
of optimizing pattern matches. Pattern matches on strings containing
multiple newlines can produce confusing results when `` $* '' is 0.
Default is 0. (Mnemonic: * matches multiple things.) Note that this
variable only influences the interpretation of ``^'' and ``$''. A
literal newline can be searched for even when $* == 0.
Use of `` $* '' is deprecated in Perl 5.
* input_line_number HANDLE EXPR
* $INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
* $NR
* $. The current input line number of the last filehandle that was read.
An explicit close on the filehandle resets the line number. Since
``<>'' never does an explicit close, line numbers increase across ARGV
files (but see examples under eof() ). Localizing $. has the effect of
also localizing Perl's notion of "the last read filehandle``.
(Mnemonic: many programs use ''." to mean the current line number.)
* input_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
* $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
* $RS
* $/ The input record separator, newline by default. Works like awk's RS
variable, including treating blank lines as delimiters if set to the
null string. You may set it to a multicharacter string to match a
multi-character delimiter. Note that setting it to ``\n\n'' means
something slightly different than setting it to ``'', if the file
contains consecutive blank lines. Setting it to ``'' will treat two or
more consecutive blank lines as a single blank line. Setting it to
``\n\n'' will blindly assume that the next input character belongs to
the next paragraph, even if it's a newline. (Mnemonic: / is used to
delimit line boundaries when quoting poetry.)
undef $/;
$_ = <FH>; # whole file now here
s/\n[ \t]+/ /g;
* autoflush HANDLE EXPR
* $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
* $| If set to nonzero, forces a flush after every write or print on the
currently selected output channel. Default is 0. Note that STDOUT will
typically be line buffered if output is to the terminal and block
buffered otherwise. Setting this variable is useful primarily when you
are outputting to a pipe, such as when you are running a Perl script
under rsh and want to see the output as it's happening. This has no
effect on input buffering. (Mnemonic: when you want your pipes to be
piping hot.)
* output_field_separator HANDLE EXPR
* $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR
* $OFS
* $, The output field separator for the print operator. Ordinarily the
print operator simply prints out the comma separated fields you
specify. In order to get behavior more like awk, set this variable as
you would set awk's OFS variable to specify what is printed between
fields. (Mnemonic: what is printed when there is a , in your print
statement.)
* output_record_separator HANDLE EXPR
* $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
* $ORS
* $\ The output record separator for the print operator. Ordinarily the
print operator simply prints out the comma separated fields you
specify, with no trailing newline or record separator assumed. In
order to get behavior more like awk, set this variable as you would
set awk's ORS variable to specify what is printed at the end of the
print. (Mnemonic: you set `` $\ '' instead of adding \n at the end of
the print. Also, it's just like /, but it's what you get ``back'' from
Perl.)
* $LIST_SEPARATOR
* $" This is like `` $, '' except that it applies to array values
interpolated into a double-quoted string (or similar interpreted
string). Default is a space. (Mnemonic: obvious, I think.)
* $SUBSCRIPT_SEPARATOR
* $SUBSEP
* $; The subscript separator for multi-dimensional array emulation. If
you refer to a hash element as
$foo{$a,$b,$c}
it really means
$foo{join($;, $a, $b, $c)}
But don't put
@foo{$a,$b,$c} # a slice--note the @
which means
($foo{$a},$foo{$b},$foo{$c})
Default is ``\034'', the same as SUBSEP in awk. Note that if your keys
contain binary data there might not be any safe value for `` $; ''.
(Mnemonic: comma (the syntactic subscript separator) is a
semi-semicolon. Yeah, I know, it's pretty lame, but `` $, '' is
already taken for something more important.)
Consider using ``real'' multi-dimensional arrays in Perl 5.
* $OFMT
* $# The output format for printed numbers. This variable is a
half-hearted attempt to emulate awk's OFMT variable. There are times,
however, when awk and Perl have differing notions of what is in fact
numeric. Also, the initial value is %.20g rather than %.6g, so you
need to set `` $# '' explicitly to get awk's value. (Mnemonic: # is
the number sign.)
Use of `` $# '' is deprecated in Perl 5.
* format_page_number HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_PAGE_NUMBER
* $% The current page number of the currently selected output channel.
(Mnemonic: % is page number in nroff.)
* format_lines_per_page HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_LINES_PER_PAGE
* $= The current page length (printable lines) of the currently selected
output channel. Default is 60. (Mnemonic: = has horizontal lines.)
* format_lines_left HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_LINES_LEFT
* $- The number of lines left on the page of the currently selected
output channel. (Mnemonic: lines_on_page - lines_printed.)
* format_name HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_NAME
* $~ The name of the current report format for the currently selected
output channel. Default is name of the filehandle. (Mnemonic: brother
to `` $^ ''.)
* format_top_name HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_TOP_NAME
* $^ The name of the current top-of-page format for the currently
selected output channel. Default is name of the filehandle with _TOP
appended. (Mnemonic: points to top of page.)
* format_line_break_characters HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS
* $: The current set of characters after which a string may be broken to
fill continuation fields (starting with ^) in a format. Default is ``
\n-'', to break on whitespace or hyphens. (Mnemonic: a ``colon'' in
poetry is a part of a line.)
* format_formfeed HANDLE EXPR
* $FORMAT_FORMFEED
* $^ L What formats output to perform a formfeed. Default is \f.
* $ACCUMULATOR
* $^ A The current value of the write() accumulator for format() lines.
A format contains formline() commands that put their result into $^ A
. After calling its format, write() prints out the contents of $^ A
and empties. So you never actually see the contents of $^ A unless you
call formline() yourself and then look at it. See the perlform manpage
and formline .
* $CHILD_ERROR
* $? The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (``) command,
or system() operator. Note that this is the status word returned by
the wait() system call, so the exit value of the subprocess is
actually ($? >> 8). Thus on many systems, $? & 255 gives which signal,
if any, the process died from, and whether there was a core dump.
(Mnemonic: similar to sh and ksh.)
* $OS_ERROR
* $ERRNO
* $! If used in a numeric context, yields the current value of errno,
with all the usual caveats. (This means that you shouldn't depend on
the value of `` $! '' to be anything in particular unless you've
gotten a specific error return indicating a system error.) If used in
a string context, yields the corresponding system error string. You
can assign to `` $! '' in order to set errno if, for instance, you
want `` $! '' to return the string for error n, or you want to set the
exit value for the die() operator. (Mnemonic: What just went bang?)
* $EVAL_ERROR
* $@ The Perl syntax error message from the last eval() command. If
null, the last eval() parsed and executed correctly (although the
operations you invoked may have failed in the normal fashion).
(Mnemonic: Where was the syntax error ``at''?)
Note that warning messages are not collected in this variable. You
can, however, set up a routine to process warnings by setting
$SIG{__WARN__} below.
* $PROCESS_ID
* $PID
* $$ The process number of the Perl running this script. (Mnemonic: same
as shells.)
* $REAL_USER_ID
* $UID
* $< The real uid of this process. (Mnemonic: it's the uid you came
FROM, if you're running setuid.)
* $EFFECTIVE_USER_ID
* $EUID
* $> The effective uid of this process. Example:
$< = $>; # set real to effective uid
($<,$>) = ($>,$<); # swap real and effective uid
(Mnemonic: it's the uid you went TO, if you're running setuid.) Note:
``$<'' and ``$>'' can only be swapped on machines supporting
setreuid().
* $REAL_GROUP_ID
* $GID
* $( The real gid of this process. If you are on a machine that supports
membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated
list of groups you are in. The first number is the one returned by
getgid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of which may be
the same as the first number. (Mnemonic: parentheses are used to GROUP
things. The real gid is the group you LEFT, if you're running setgid.)
* $EFFECTIVE_GROUP_ID
* $EGID
* $) The effective gid of this process. If you are on a machine that
supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space
separated list of groups you are in. The first number is the one
returned by getegid(), and the subsequent ones by getgroups(), one of
which may be the same as the first number. (Mnemonic: parentheses are
used to GROUP things. The effective gid is the group that's RIGHT for
you, if you're running setgid.)
Note: ``$<'', ``$>'', `` $( '' and `` $) '' can only be set on
machines that support the corresponding set[re][ug]id() routine. `` $(
'' and `` $) '' can only be swapped on machines supporting setregid().
Because Perl doesn't currently use initgroups(), you can't set your
group vector to multiple groups.
* $PROGRAM_NAME
* $0 Contains the name of the file containing the Perl script being
executed. Assigning to `` $0 '' modifies the argument area that the
ps(1) program sees. This is more useful as a way of indicating the
current program state than it is for hiding the program you're
running. (Mnemonic: same as sh and ksh.)
* $[ The index of the first element in an array, and of the first
character in a substring. Default is 0, but you could set it to 1 to
make Perl behave more like awk (or Fortran) when subscripting and when
evaluating the index() and substr() functions. (Mnemonic: [ begins
subscripts.)
As of Perl 5, assignment to `` $[ '' is treated as a compiler
directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file. Its
use is discouraged.
* $PERL_VERSION
* $] The string printed out when you say perl -v. (This is currently
BROKEN). It can be used to determine at the beginning of a script
whether the perl interpreter executing the script is in the right
range of versions. If used in a numeric context, returns the version +
patchlevel / 1000. Example:
# see if getc is available
($version,$patchlevel) =
$] =~ /(\d+\.\d+).*\nPatch level: (\d+)/;
print STDERR "(No filename completion available.)\n"
if $version * 1000 + $patchlevel < 2016;
or, used numerically,
warn "No checksumming!\n" if $] < 3.019;
(Mnemonic: Is this version of perl in the right bracket?)
* $DEBUGGING
* $^ D The current value of the debugging flags. (Mnemonic: value of -D
switch.)
* $SYSTEM_FD_MAX
* $^ F The maximum system file descriptor, ordinarily 2. System file
descriptors are passed to exec() ed processes, while higher file
descriptors are not. Also, during an open() , system file descriptors
are preserved even if the open() fails. (Ordinary file descriptors are
closed before the open() is attempted.) Note that the close-on-exec
status of a file descriptor will be decided according to the value of
$^ F at the time of the open, not the time of the exec.
* $INPLACE_EDIT
* $^ I The current value of the inplace-edit extension. Use undef to
disable inplace editing. (Mnemonic: value of -i switch.)
* $PERLDB
* $^ P The internal flag that the debugger clears so that it doesn't
debug itself. You could conceivable disable debugging yourself by
clearing it.
* $BASETIME
* $^ T The time at which the script began running, in seconds since the
epoch (beginning of 1970). The values returned by the -M, -A and -C
filetests are based on this value.
* $WARNING
* $^ W The current value of the warning switch, either TRUE or FALSE.
(Mnemonic: related to the -w switch.)
* $EXECUTABLE_NAME
* $^ X The name that the Perl binary itself was executed as, from C's
argv[0].
* $ARGV contains the name of the current file when reading from <>.
* @ARGV The array @ARGV contains the command line arguments intended for
the script. Note that $# ARGV is the generally number of arguments
minus one, since $ARGV [0] is the first argument, NOT the command
name. See `` $0 '' for the command name.
* @INC The array @INC contains the list of places to look for Perl
scripts to be evaluated by the do EXPR , require , or use constructs.
It initially consists of the arguments to any -I command line
switches, followed by the default Perl library, probably
``/usr/local/lib/perl'', followed by ``.'', to represent the current
directory. If you need to modify this at runtime, you should use the
use lib pragma in order to also get the machine-dependent library
properly loaded:
use lib '/mypath/libdir/';
use SomeMod;
* %INC The hash %INC contains entries for each filename that has been
included via do or require . The key is the filename you specified,
and the value is the location of the file actually found. The require
command uses this array to determine whether a given file has already
been included.
* $ENV{expr} The hash %ENV contains your current environment. Setting a
value in ENV changes the environment for child processes.
* $SIG{expr} The hash %SIG is used to set signal handlers for various
signals. Example:
sub handler { # 1st argument is signal name
local($sig) = @_;
print "Caught a SIG$sig--shutting down\n";
close(LOG);
exit(0);
}
$SIG{'INT'} = 'handler';
$SIG{'QUIT'} = 'handler';
...
$SIG{'INT'} = 'DEFAULT'; # restore default action
$SIG{'QUIT'} = 'IGNORE'; # ignore SIGQUIT
The %SIG array only contains values for the signals actually set
within the Perl script. Here are some other examples:
$SIG{PIPE} = Plumber; # SCARY!!
$SIG{"PIPE"} = "Plumber"; # just fine, assumes main::Plumber
$SIG{"PIPE"} = \&Plumber; # just fine; assume current Plumber
$SIG{"PIPE"} = Plumber(); # oops, what did Plumber() return??
The one marked scary is problematic because it's a bareword, which
means sometimes it's a string representing the function, and sometimes
it's going to call the subroutine call right then and there! Best to
be sure and quote it or take a reference to it. *Plumber works too.
See the perlsubs manpage .
Certain internal hooks can be also set using the %SIG hash. The
routine indicated by $SIG{__WARN__} is called when a warning message
is about to be printed. The warning message is passed as the first
argument. The presence of a __WARN__ hook causes the ordinary printing
of warnings to STDERR to be suppressed. You can use this to save
warnings in a variable, or turn warnings into fatal errors, like this:
local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { die $_[0] };
eval $proggie;
The routine indicated by $SIG{__DIE__} is called when a fatal
exception is about to be thrown. The error message is passed as the
first argument. When a __DIE__ hook routine returns, the exception
processing continues as it would have in the absence of the hook,
unless the hook routine itself exits via a goto , a loop exit, or a
die() . The __DIE__ handler is explicitly disabled during the call, so
that you can die from a __DIE__ handler. Similarly for __WARN__.
