=head1 NAME

Pod::Functions - Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Functions;

my @misc_ops = @{ $Kinds{ 'Misc' } };
    my $misc_dsc = $Type_Description{ 'Misc' };

perl /path/to/lib/Pod/Functions.pm

This will print a grouped list of Perl's functions, like the 
L<perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category"> section.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

It exports the following variables:

=over 4

=item %Kinds

This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the category
the key denotes.

=item %Type

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the category.
The category can be a comma separated list.

=item %Flavor

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short 
description of that function.

=item %Type_Description

In this hash each key represents a category of functions and the value is 
a short description of that category.

=item @Type_Order

This list of categories is used to produce the same order as the
L<perlfunc/"Perl Functions by Category"> section.
