71 may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
72 `perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info',

74 `makemaker', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.

293 perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in pod format.
297 B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-v>] [B<-t>] [B<-u>] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
301 I<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is embedded
302 in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays it via
303 C<pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER>. (In addition, if running under HP-UX,
304 C<col -x> will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for
305 the perl library modules.
307 Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
308 which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
316 Prints out a brief help message.
320 Describes search for the item in detail.
322 =item B<-t> text output
324 Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
325 but it won't look as nice.
327 =item B<-u> unformatted
329 Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
333 Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation.
334 This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail
335 you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find
336 the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
338 =item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName>
340 The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
341 are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<File/Basename>. You may also
342 give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. You make also give a
343 partial or wrong-case name, such as "basename" for "File::Basename", but
344 this will be slower, if there is more then one page with the same partial
345 name, you will only get the first one.
351 Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
352 command line arguments. C<perldoc> also searches directories
353 specified by the C<PERL5LIB> (or C<PERLLIB> if C<PERL5LIB> is not
354 defined) and C<PATH> environment variables.
355 (The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as
356 C<perldoc> itself, are available.)
