SCALAR::LIST::UTILS(3pm)

πŸ¦‹ SCALAR::LIST::UTILS(3pm) πŸ¦‹

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 πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

Scalar::List::Utils β€” a whole distribution of general-utility subroutines, no cap ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

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 🫢


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

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 😭

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 πŸš—βœ¨


πŸ‘‘ MODULES πŸ‘‘

πŸ’œ List::Util

List::Util contains a selection of useful subroutines for operating on lists of values. lists! values! operating! it ate πŸ’…

🌈 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 πŸ”₯

⭐ Sub::Util

Sub::Util contains a selection of useful subroutines for interrogating or manipulating subroutine references. code refs getting the full interview treatment, iconic 🎀


and that's the whole page, bestie β€” short and sweet, main character energy with zero filler 🧚

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 πŸ’–

✨ cute sign-off ✨ this lil beauty comes from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-11-03 β€” screenshot it, frame it, put it on your wall πŸŽ€πŸ«Ά
