  Description     : module providing builtin functions for older perl versions

builtin::compat provides builtin functions for perl versions that do not
include the builtin module.

builtin::compat does its best to behave similar to builtin, which creates its
exported functions as lexicals. The functions will be created in the
currently compiling scope, not the immediate caller of
builtin::compat->import. The functions will also be removed at the end of the
compilation scope using namespace::clean.

The builtin functions will be used directly when they are available.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
