in reply to What are O_RDWR and O_CREAT and why does Perldoc assume I know this already?

They are documented in the Unix/Linux man page for open(2) → open (this links to the man page, not the perl function open).
The examples for DB_File seem to include Fcntl, which makes them available in Perl.

Oh, just remembered Perl sysopen uses the same constants and mentions Fcntl.

    Thanks! That really helps. So who do I write to to get that link/reference included in the perldoc? Seems like it would be useful.

      claims that it was first released with Perl 5 and that it is maintained with Perl itself. So the approach to get a documentation change would be to use perlbug and send the proposed documentation change (preferrably as a patch) in the bug report to perl5-porters.
