  <h2>Introduction</h2>
  
  <p>This document aims at helping people interested in learning
  more on <tt>perl-MDK-Common</tt>, a Perl library which is intensively
  used in Mandriva in-house software development.</p>

  <p>The library adds some convenient "basic" functions to Perl,
  allows easier functional-style programming, and also provides
  some better system-related operations. It can be seen as an
  extension to the standard Perl library, adding missing helpful
  functions. It is divided as follows:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::File</tt>: some useful list/hash functions</li>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::Func</tt>: functions suited to functional-style programming</li>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::Math</tt>: some math functions</li>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::String</tt>: functions to perform various formatting on strings</li>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::System</tt>: system-related useful functions</li>
    <li><tt>MDK::Common::Various</tt>: other useful functions</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Thanks to <tt>perl-MDK-Common</tt>'s own documentation, an
  easy way to directly access information about the provided
  functions is to use <tt>perldoc</tt>. For example,
  <tt>perldoc MDK::Common::Func</tt> will list the functions
  of the Func sub-module. Use <tt>perldoc MDK::Common</tt> to view
  information on all the available functions.</p>

  <p>Additionally, <tt>perl-MDK-Common</tt> provides a binary
  called <tt>perl_checker</tt>, which is a Perl compiler aiming
  at enforcing the use of a subset of Perl, so that all
  Mandriva Perl programs roughly follow the same code style.
  It will also help the programmer to remove unneeded parentheses
  and conditionals.</p>
