Actually, no formal specification of Perl exists. Whether one should is an
issue that comes up occasionally and there are vocal proponents of both
positions. I would like to see one one day.
You can find most of what you need to in the documentation. But a formal
specification, like the ANSI C standard, doesn't exist.
