PL2PM(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PL2PM(1)NAME
pl2pm - Rough tool to translate Perl4 .pl files to Perl5 .pm modules.
SYNOPSIS
pl2pm files
DESCRIPTION
pl2pm is a tool to aid in the conversion of Perl4-style .pl library files to Perl5-style library modules. Usually, your old .pl file will
still work fine and you should only use this tool if you plan to update your library to use some of the newer Perl 5 features, such as
AutoLoading.
LIMITATIONS
It's just a first step, but it's usually a good first step.

h2ph - convert .h C header files to .ph Perl header files
SYNOPSIS
h2ph [-d destination directory] [-r | -a] [-l] [headerfiles]
DESCRIPTION
h2ph converts any C header files specified to the corresponding Perl header file format. It is most easily run while in /usr/include:
cd /usr/include; h2ph * sys/*
or
cd /usr/include; h2ph * sys/* arpa/* netinet/*
or
cd /usr/include; h2ph -r -l .
The output files are placed in the hierarchy rooted at Perl's architecture dependent library directory. You can specify a different
hierarchy with a -d switch.
If run with no arguments, filters standard input to standard output.
OPTIONS -d destination_dir
Put the resulting .ph files beneath destination_dir, instead of beneath the default Perl library location ($Config{'installsitearch'}).
-r Run recursively; if any of headerfiles are directories, then run h2ph on all files in those directories (and their subdirectories,
etc.). -r and -a are mutually exclusive.
-a Run automagically; convert headerfiles, as well as any .h files which they include. This option will search for .h files in all
directories which your C compiler ordinarily uses. -a and -r are mutually exclusive.
-l Symbolic links will be replicated in the destination directory. If -l is not specified, then links are skipped over.
-h Put ``hints'' in the .ph files which will help in locating problems with h2ph. In those cases when you require a .ph file containing
syntax errors, instead of the cryptic
[ some error condition ] at (eval mmm) line nnn
you will see the slightly more helpful
[ some error condition ] at filename.ph line nnn
However, the .ph files almost double in size when built using -h.
-D Include the code from the .h file as a comment in the .ph file. This is primarily used for debugging h2ph.
-Q ``Quiet'' mode; don't print out the names of the files being converted.
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
FILES
/usr/include/*.h
/usr/include/sys/*.h
etc.

SEE ALSO perl(1)DIAGNOSTICS
The usual warnings if it can't read or write the files involved.
BUGS
Doesn't construct the %sizeof array for you.
It doesn't handle all C constructs, but it does attempt to isolate definitions inside evals so that you can get at the definitions that it
can translate.
It's only intended as a rough tool. You may need to dicker with the files produced.
You have to run this program by hand; it's not run as part of the Perl installation.
Doesn't handle complicated expressions built piecemeal, a la:
enum {
FIRST_VALUE,
SECOND_VALUE,
#ifdef ABC
THIRD_VALUE
#endif
};
Doesn't necessarily locate all of your C compiler's internally-defined symbols.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
