SCALAR::LIST::UTILS(3pm)
π¦ SCALAR::LIST::UTILS(3pm) π¦
okay so real talk β this page lives in the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and the module itself is Scalar::List::Utils, bestie. yes the header truncates it to Scalar:...t::Utils(3pm) because terminals are dramatic like that π
πΈ NAME πΈ
Scalar::List::Utils β a whole distribution of general-utility subroutines, no cap β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
like, here's the vibe of how you'd actually pull stuff out of it:
use Scalar::Util qw(blessed);
use List::Util qw(any);
see? two different modules, one happy little family π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so this is the part where i have to be honest with you: Scalar::List::Utils does nothing on its own. literally nothing. it's giving empty group chat π
it's just packaged together with several useful modules. that's the whole gig. it's the friend who drives everyone to the party but doesn't stay πβ¨
π MODULES π
π List::Util
List::Util contains a selection of useful subroutines for operating on lists of values. lists! values! operating! it ate π
π Scalar::Util
Scalar::Util contains a selection of useful subroutines for interrogating or manipulating scalar values. yes interrogating. it asks the scalar questions and the scalar answers π₯
β Sub::Util
Sub::Util contains a selection of useful subroutines for interrogating or manipulating subroutine references. code refs getting the full interview treatment, iconic π€
and that's the whole page, bestie β short and sweet, main character energy with zero filler π§
ngl if you came here looking for a giant options list, wrong page, but the modules it ships with? those go hard. go read their pages next π
β¨ cute sign-off β¨ this lil beauty comes from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-11-03 β screenshot it, frame it, put it on your wall ππ«Ά
