NAME
       Errno - System errno constants

SYNOPSIS
	   use Errno qw(EINTR EIO :POSIX);

DESCRIPTION
       "Errno" defines and conditionally exports all the error
       constants defined in your system "errno.h" include file.
       It has a single export tag, ":POSIX", which will export
       all POSIX defined error numbers.

       "Errno" also makes "%!" magic such that each element of
       "%!" has a non-zero value only if "$!" is set to that
       value. For example:

	   use Errno;

	   unless (open(FH, "/fangorn/spouse")) {
	       if ($!{ENOENT}) {
		   warn "Get a wife!\n";
	       } else {
		   warn "This path is barred: $!";
	       }
	   }

       If a specified constant "EFOO" does not exist on the sys
       tem, "$!{EFOO}" returns """".  You may use "exists
       $!{EFOO}" to check whether the constant is available on
       the system.

CAVEATS
       Importing a particular constant may not be very portable,
       because the import will fail on platforms that do not have
       that constant.  A more portable way to set "$!" to a valid
       value is to use:

	   if (exists &Errno::EFOO) {
	       $! = &Errno::EFOO;
	   }
