=head1 NAME

English - use nice English (or awk) names for ugly punctuation variables

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use English qw( -no_match_vars ) ;  # Avoids regex performance penalty
    use English;
    ...
    if ($ERRNO =~ /denied/) { ... }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides aliases for the built-in variables whose
names no one seems to like to read.  Variables with side-effects
which get triggered just by accessing them (like $0) will still 
be affected.

For those variables that have an B<awk> version, both long
and short English alternatives are provided.  For example, 
the C<$/> variable can be referred to either $RS or 
$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR if you are using the English module.

See L<perlvar> for a complete list of these.

=head1 PERFORMANCE

This module can provoke sizeable inefficiencies for regular expressions,
due to unfortunate implementation details.  If performance matters in
your application and you don't need $PREMATCH, $MATCH, or $POSTMATCH,
try doing

use English qw( -no_match_vars ) ;

.  B<It is especially important to do this in modules to avoid penalizing
all applications which use them.>
