If \ meant xor, and some of the other discussed changes:
unary (prefix) operators:
\ - reference to
* - list flattening
? - force to bool context
! - force to bool context, negate
not - force to bool context, negate
+ - force to numeric context
- - force to numeric context, negate
~ - force to string context
. - method call on current topic
- unary xor [no cooresponding operator]
++ - preincrement
-- - predecrement
unary (postfix) operators:
++ - postincrement
-- - postdecrement
... - [maybe] same as ..Inf
other postfix operators:
() - (when operator is expected)
[] - array access
{} - hash access
magical whitespace modifier
_ - remove whitespace/newline
hyperoperators:
^ - as prefix to any unary/binary operator, "vectorizes" the operator
binary operators:
+ - * / % ** x xx ~
+= -= *= /= %= **= x= xx= ~=
< > <= >= == != <=>
lt gt le ge eq ne cmp
&& || \\ // - boolean operations
&&= ||= \\= //=
and or xor err
.& .| .\ << >> - bitwise or charwise operations
.&= .|= .\= <<= >>= - (depending on operants)
- [or maybe +& vs ~&, etc.]
?& ?| ?\ - [maybe] bitwise operations on bools (as
in C)
?&= ?|= ?\= - (result is always 1 or 0)
& | \ ! - superpositional operations
&= |= \= - intersection, union, disjunction
all any one none
sum prod cat reduce
~~ !~ - smartmatch, perl5 =~,!~
=> - pair creator
, - list creator
; - "greater comma", list-of-lists creator
: - adverbial
. - method call
.. - range
... - [maybe] range, exclusive of endpoint
= - assignment
:= - binding
::= - binding, but more so
trinary operator:
?? :: - if/else
parens, misc, and quotelike operators
()
[] - [when term is expected]
{} - [when term is expected]
m// - shorthand, "matches"
s/// - shorthand, "substitute"
tr/// - shorthand, "transliterate"
'...' "..." `...` /.../ << >>
q qq qx rx qw
(+ qr ?)
(heredocs) - [exact format unknown]
named unary (prefix) operators, terms, and other assorteds, identified
when possible:
-X - [op] filetest operators
temp - [op]
let - [op]
ref - [op]
defined - [op]
undef - [op]
undef - [term]
exists - [op]
delete - [op]
but - [op] val properties
${ } - [deref] dereference scalarref
@{ } - [deref]
%{ } - [deref]
&{ } - [deref]
... - [term] yada**3
Inf - [term]
Nan - [term]
is - [declar] var properties
-> - [declar] like 'sub'
hash - [declar] force hash context
explicit radix specifications for integers:
0123 - decimal
2:0110 - binary (also b:0110?)
8:123 - octal (also o:123?)
16:123 - hex (also h:123?)
256:192.168.1.0 - base 256
(...etc...)
other uncategorized:
my our - [declar]
map grep
sqrt log sin cos tan (etc...) - math
lc lcfirst uc ucfirst
int ord oct hex bin
