perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purely B<internal> 
		 Perl functions

B<they are not for use in extensions>!

=item is_gv_magical

Returns C<TRUE> if given the name of a magical GV.

Currently only useful internally when determining if a GV should be
created even in rvalue contexts.

C<flags> is not used at present but available for future extension to
allow selecting particular classes of magical variable.

=item LVRET

=item PL_DBsingle

When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the B<-d> switch, this SV is a
boolean which indicates whether subs are being single-stepped. 
Single-stepping is automatically turned on after every step.  This is the C
variable which corresponds to Perl's $DB::single variable.  See
C<PL_DBsub>.

	SV *	PL_DBsingle

=for hackers
Found in file intrpvar.h

=item PL_DBsub

When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the B<-d> switch, this GV contains
the SV which holds the name of the sub being debugged.  This is the C
variable which corresponds to Perl's $DB::sub variable.  See
C<PL_DBsingle>.

	GV *	PL_DBsub

=item PL_DBtrace
