Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.8.8-6.1
Severity: normal

The description of ref() in perlfunc(1) features a list of built-in
reference types.  Although the wording makes it sound non-exhaustive
("Builtin types include"), it seems rather complete to me, with the
exception of the "Regexp" type:

  [fbriere] toroia:~ $ perl -le 'print ref qr/foo/'
  Regexp


Seems to me like a worthy addition.
