Well, not sure, but I wouldn't count 'my' as a library function built-in but as more of a declaration. Things like sort/printf/grep/map...splice/vector/join. 's' and 't' are specifically included under operators, so they wouldn't count. I might count "-f" and it's kin w/stat....

It's hard to think of a program without some output like print. I dunno if the formatting cousins s/printf would be as popular or if that is just my fetish.

Given the long history of doing statistical analysis on language, and especially w/perl's architect having a linguistics background I find it a bit surprising no one has ever analyzed perl.

I could do it on CPAN, but we all know that is not representative code -- being designed as library addons it would lack things that a "main" prog would have like selecting program options (use warnings/unicode... etc), and doing some sort of I/O to interact with a user.

I didn't really want to make a project out of it...but if I want it done... it may be a while...
