Pod::Functions - Group Perl's functions a la perlfunc.pod

    use Pod::Functions;
    my @misc_ops = @{ $Kinds{ 'Misc' } };

    perl /path/to/lib/Pod/Functions.pm

This will print a grouped list of Perl's functions, like the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.

It exports the following variables:

%Kinds
This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the category the key denotes.
%Type
In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the category. The category can be a comma separated list.
%Flavor
In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short description of that function.
%Type_Description
In this hash each key represents a category of functions and the value is a short description of that category.
@Type_Order
This list of categories is used to produce the same order as the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.
