37					=head1 DESCRIPTION
38
39					C<Symbol::gensym> creates an anonymous glob and returns a reference
40					to it. Such a glob reference can be used as a file or directory
41					handle.
42
43					For backward compatibility with older implementations that didn't
44					support anonymous globs, C<Symbol::ungensym> is also provided.
45					But it doesn't do anything.
46
47					C<Symbol::geniosym> creates an anonymous IO handle. This can be
48					assigned into an existing glob without affecting the non-IO portions
49					of the glob.
50
51					C<Symbol::qualify> turns unqualified symbol names into qualified
52					variable names (e.g. "myvar" -E<gt> "MyPackage::myvar"). If it is given a
53					second parameter, C<qualify> uses it as the default package;
54					otherwise, it uses the package of its caller. Regardless, global
55					variable names (e.g. "STDOUT", "ENV", "SIG") are always qualified with
56					"main::".
57
58					Qualification applies only to symbol names (strings). References are
59					left unchanged under the assumption that they are glob references,
60					which are qualified by their nature.
61
62					C<Symbol::qualify_to_ref> is just like C<Symbol::qualify> except that it
63					returns a glob ref rather than a symbol name, so you can use the result
64					even if C<use strict 'refs'> is in effect.
65
66					C<Symbol::delete_package> wipes out a whole package namespace. Note
67					this routine is not exported by default--you may want to import it
68					explicitly.
69
70					=head1 BUGS
71
72					C<Symbol::delete_package> is a bit too powerful. It undefines every symbol that
73					lives in the specified package. Since perl, for performance reasons, does not
74					perform a symbol table lookup each time a function is called or a global
75					variable is accessed, some code that has already been loaded and that makes use
76					of symbols in package C<Foo> may stop working after you delete C<Foo>, even if
77					you reload the C<Foo> module afterwards.
