+=for Pod::Functions +evalbytes similar to string eval, but intend to parse a bytestream
This function is like L</eval> with a string argument, except it always
parses its argument, or C<$_> if EXPR is omitted, as a string of bytes. A
=item fc
-=for Pod::Functions return casefolded version of a string
+=for Pod::Functions +fc return casefolded version of a string
Returns the casefolded version of EXPR. This is the internal function
implementing the C<\F> escape in double-quoted strings.
=item lock THING
X<lock>

+=for Pod::Functions +5.005 get a thread lock on a variable, subroutine, or method
This function places an advisory lock on a shared variable or referenced
object contained in I<THING> until the lock goes out of scope.
=item our TYPE EXPR : ATTRS
-=for Pod::Functions declare and assign a package variable (lexical scoping)
+=for Pod::Functions +5.6.0 declare and assign a package variable (lexical scoping)
C<our> associates a simple name with a package variable in the current
package for use within the current scope. When C<use strict 'vars'> is in

=item prototype FUNCTION
X<prototype>
-=for Pod::Functions get the prototype (if any) of a subroutine
+=for Pod::Functions +5.002 get the prototype (if any) of a subroutine
Returns the prototype of a function as a string (or C<undef> if the
function has no prototype). FUNCTION is a reference to, or the name of,
=item qr/STRING/

Regexp-like quote. See L<perlop/"Regexp Quote-Like Operators">.
=item say
-=for Pod::Functions output a list to a filehandle, appending a newline
+=for Pod::Functions +say output a list to a filehandle, appending a newline
Just like C<print>, but implicitly appends a newline. C<say LIST> is
simply an abbreviation for C<{ local $\ = "\n"; print LIST }>. To use
=item state TYPE EXPR : ATTRS
-=for Pod::Functions declare and assign a persistent lexical variable
+=for Pod::Functions +state declare and assign a persistent lexical variable
C<state> declares a lexically scoped variable, just like C<my>.
However, those variables will never be reinitialized, contrary to

-=for Pod::Functions the current subroutine, or C<undef> if not in a subroutine
+=for Pod::Functions +current_sub the current subroutine, or C<undef> if not in a subroutine
A special token that returns the a reference to the current subroutine, or
C<undef> outside of a subroutine.
=item sysopen FILEHANDLE,FILENAME,MODE,PERMS
-=for Pod::Functions open a file, pipe, or descriptor
+=for Pod::Functions +5.002 open a file, pipe, or descriptor
Opens the file whose filename is given by FILENAME, and associates it with
FILEHANDLE. If FILEHANDLE is an expression, its value is used as the real

X<sysseek> X<lseek>
-=for Pod::Functions position I/O pointer on handle used with sysread and syswrite
+=for Pod::Functions +5.004 position I/O pointer on handle used with sysread and syswrite
Sets FILEHANDLE's system position in bytes using lseek(2). FILEHANDLE may
be an expression whose value gives the name of the filehandle. The values

X<tie>
-=for Pod::Functions bind a variable to an object class
+=for Pod::Functions +5.002 bind a variable to an object class
This function binds a variable to a package class that will provide the
implementation for the variable. VARIABLE is the name of the variable
