		      The Perl 5 Reference Guide
The Perl Reference Guide is a typeset quick reference guide to Larry
Wall's Perl program.
It contains a concise description of all Perl 5 statements, functions,
variables and lots of other useful information. The Guide is based on
Perl version 5, patchlevel 1.
The purpose of the Reference Guide is to aid in the use of Perl, to
look up the syntax of specific functions, statements and the meaning
of built-in variables. It is *NOT* a self-contained user guide - basic
knowledge of the Perl language is required. It is *NOT* complete -
some of the more obscure variants of perl constructs have been left
out. But all functions and variables are mentioned in at least one way
they can be used.
The Reference Guide is designed and created by Johan Vromans using the
LaTex typesetting system. The kit contains a ready-to-use PostScript
file, but the LaTeX sources are included as well. The PostScript file
has been built using LaTeX2e and Tom Rockiki's dvips.
A special formatting tool, written in Perl, makes it possible to
reformat this PostScript output for reproduction in a number of
formats. 
The version number of the Reference Guide is coupled to the version of
Perl, e.g. 5.012.2 means: the second release suitable for Perl 5
patchlevel 12. (This is an example. There is no Perl 5 patchlevel 12 (yet?))
