Locally, you may try perldoc perlfunc. Online, among other sources is http://perldoc.perl.org/, specifically http://perldoc.perl.org/index-functions.html (list of perl functions A-Z).

Hope that helps.

G'day dideod.yang,

"Cpan give me many information about modules.. but function is not.."

Many modules provide nothing but functions. Here's a couple of examples:

$ perl -E 'use List::Util "max"; my @x = (5,3,1,6,2,4); say max @x'
6
$ perl -E 'use File::Spec; say for File::Spec::->splitdir("a/b/c")'
a
b
c

I see ++atcroft has mentioned http://perldoc.perl.org/. If you look at the panel on the left-hand side, you'll see "Modules" and an alphabetical index. Follow the letter links and see a listing of module names (as links) as well as a short, one line description. These are all core modules which you should already have installed: try out the ones that interest you.

[I usually bookmark http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.html. It has the same panel with "Modules", "Functions", etc.; it also has direct links to all the Perl documentation. I find it suits me better; you can choose whatever you want.]

A word of caution. Some modules export a huge number of functions by default; limit that by importing only the functions you want (as I did with 'use List::Util "max";'). The POSIX module is possibly the worst offender; see its CAVEATS section. In general, modules tell you what they export by default; some provide tags to allow you to easily import related groups of functions — see Exporter, and in particular its "Specialised Import Lists" section, for more about this (most modules won't include this level of detail in their documentation).

Scripy:

Python tools for manage system commands as replacement to bash script.

I have just learned the name of the beast.

Interesting. Would this be similiar to Shell or Shell::Cmd (I know neither of them)?

waaaay more interesting ... they are trying to replace shell scripts. re: bash-bashing and python. I will stop the tangent here.
