in reply to Overview scalar vs list context?

Looked into perlfunc and found only dispersed references.

Condense them: 

man perlfunc | perl -n00 -le 'print if /scalar/' | less

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

      That would be best, I admit. But sadly, no. I don't have any tabular data on context driven behavior of builtins, so sorry.
      But filtering that way gives a rough overview of context sensitive builtins, which should suffice for teaching purposes.
      Anyways there is no way around reading all of perlfunc. All of it.

      update:

      Since

      New colleague is struggling with Perl context

      and context sensitivity is a fundamental concept of the Perl language, a cheat sheet would be of no help whatsoever, period.

      perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
