# Pod::Functions(3p)

Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod

## 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  "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.

## DESCRIPTION

It exports the following variables:

- %Kinds

  This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the category the key denotes.

- %Type

  In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the category. The category 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 category of functions and the value is  a short description of that category.

- @Type\_Order

  This list of categories is used to produce the same order as the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.
