$perldoc POSIX
malloc malloc() is C-specific. Perl does memory manage�
ment transparently.
siglongjmp
siglongjmp() is C-specific: use the die entry in
the perlfunc manpage instead.
...etc etc
unless you plan to write Perl extension in C, you probably don't have to
worry about those. pick up a couple of c books if you want to learn about
them.
