    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'
