The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.

Additional B helpers to check Copy On Write status
B::COW provides some naïve additional B helpers to check the Copy On Write (COW) status of one SvPV (a Perl string variable). A COWed SvPV is sharing its string (the PV) with other SvPVs. It's a (kind of) Read Only C string, which would be Copied On Write (COW). More than one SV can share the same PV, but when one PV needs to alter it, it would perform a copy of it, decreasing the COWREFCNT counter. One SV can then drop the COW flag when it's the only one holding a pointer to the PV. The COWREFCNT is stored at the end of the PV, after the null byte terminating the string. That value is limited to 255: when we reach 255, a new PV would be created.
This package is the shared library for perl.
Implements default import method for modules
The Exporter module implements an import method which allows a module to export functions and variables to its users' name spaces. Many modules use Exporter rather than implementing their own import method because Exporter provides a highly flexible interface, with an implementation optimized for the common case.
