+Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
command line arguments. C<perldoc> also searches directories
specified by the C<PERL5LIB> (or C<PERLLIB> if C<PERL5LIB> is not
defined) and C<PATH> environment variables.
(The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as
-C<perldoc> itself, are available.)
+C<perldoc> itself, are available.) C<perldoc> will use, in order of
+preference, the pager defined in C<PERLDOC_PAGER>, C<MANPAGER>, or
+C<PAGER> before trying to find a pager on its own. (C<MANPAGER> is not
+used if C<perldoc> was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.)
+
+One useful value for C<PERLDOC_PAGER> is C<less -+C -E>.
