Some remarks:
links
It would be easier for all of us if you linked to those perldocs.
That's quite easy, just edit your post and and run a regex to surround each missing command with [doc://...]
like atan2 -> atan2
grouping
The next point is classification
getservbyname and many others belongs to the group Fetching-network-info
Assembling the commands in such groups would facilitate the task a lot !!!
They were originally classified in the perlfunc you copied, why did you strip it again?
Compare "divide and conquer"
snippets
Next: After reading Re^2: How to find Perl demo programs? I assume you rather mean usage snippets than full demo programs.
It would be very nice to have such snippets for many reasons.
- IDEs could profit from suggesting them
- The behavior of Perl is often underdefined
- The docs are often overly complex, the main info get lost in sometimes cryptic mentions of edge cases.
- Perl is undertested, such snippets could be used to catch regressions from version to version
I once tried an automatic approach to generate them, but alas life came in-between.
