+ "MGf_COPY"
+ Evaluates to true iff the 'copy' magic is available.
+
+ "MGf_DUP"
+ Evaluates to true iff the 'dup' magic is available.
+
+ "MGf_LOCAL"

+
+ "VMG_UVAR"
+ When this constant is true, you can use the "fetch,store,exists,delete"

+
+ "VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_PUSH_NOLEN"
+ True for perls that don't call 'len' magic when you push an element in a
+ magical array.
+
+ "VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_UNSHIFT_NOLEN_VOID"
+ True for perls that don't call 'len' magic when you unshift in void
+ context an element in a magical array.
+
+ "VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_UNDEF_CLEAR"
+ True for perls that call 'clear' magic when undefining magical arrays.
+
+ "VMG_COMPAT_SCALAR_LENGTH_NOLEN"
+ True for perls that don't call 'len' magic when taking the "length" of a

+ "VMG_PERL_PATCHLEVEL"
+ The perl patchlevel this module was built with, or 0 for non-debugging

+
+ "VMG_THREADSAFE"
+ True iff this module could have been built with thread-safety features

+
+ "VMG_FORKSAFE"
+ True iff this module could have been built with fork-safety features

+ perl 5.10.0 and below .
+
+ "VMG_OP_INFO_NAME"
+ Value to pass with "op_info" to get the current op name in the magic
+ callbacks.
+
+ "VMG_OP_INFO_OBJECT"
+ Value to pass with "op_info" to get a "B::OP" object representing the

+
+PERL MAGIC HISTORY
+ The places where magic is invoked have changed a bit through perl
+ history. Here's a little list of the most recent ones.
+
+ * 5.6.x
+
+ *p14416* : 'copy' and 'dup' magic.
+
+ * 5.8.9
+
+ *p28160* : Integration of *p25854* (see below).
+
+ *p32542* : Integration of *p31473* (see below).
+
+ * 5.9.3
+
+ *p25854* : 'len' magic is no longer called when pushing an element
+ into a magic array.
+
+ *p26569* : 'local' magic.
+
+ * 5.9.5
+
+ *p31064* : Meaningful 'uvar' magic.
+
+ *p31473* : 'clear' magic wasn't invoked when undefining an array.
+ The bug is fixed as of this version.
+
+ * 5.10.0
+
+ Since "PERL_MAGIC_uvar" is uppercased, "hv_magic_check()" triggers
+ 'copy' magic on hash stores for (non-tied) hashes that also have
+ 'uvar' magic.
+
+ * 5.11.x
+
+ *p32969* : 'len' magic is no longer invoked when calling "length"
+ with a magical scalar.
+
+ *p34908* : 'len' magic is no longer called when pushing / unshifting
+ an element into a magical array in void context. The "push" part was
+ already covered by *p25854*.
