-=head1 NAME
-
-perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in pod format.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-v>] [B<-t>] [B<-u>] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-I<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is
-embedded in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays
-it via pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER. This is primarily used for the
-documentation for the perl library modules.
-
-Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
-which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 5
-
-=item B<-h> help
-
-Prints out a brief help message.
-
-=item B<-v> verbose
-
-Describes search for the item in detail.
-
-=item B<-t> text output
-
-Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
-but it won't look as nice.
-
-=item B<-u> unformatted
-
-Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
-
-=item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName>
-
-The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
-are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<File/Basename>. You may also
-give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. You make also give a
-partial or wrong-case name, such as "basename" for "File::Basename", but
-this will be slower, if there is more then one page with the same partial
-name, you will only get the first one.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 ENVIRONMENT
-
-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.)

is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You
may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
`perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info',
`Term/Info', the partial name of a module, like `info', or
`makemaker', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.
-
+
+BuiltinFunction
+ is the name of a perl function. Will extract documentation from
+ `perlfunc'.
+
+FAQRegex
+ is a regex. Will search perlfaq[1-9] for and extract any
+ questions that match.
+
Any switches in the PERLDOC environment variable will be used before the
-command line arguments.
+command line arguments. The optional pod index file contains a list of
+filenames, one per line.

+B<perldoc> B<-q> FAQ Keyword
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+I<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is embedded
+in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays it via
+C<pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER>. (In addition, if running under HP-UX,
+C<col -x> will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for
+the perl library modules.
+
+Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
+which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 5
+
+=item B<-h> help
+
+Prints out a brief help message.
+
+=item B<-v> verbose
+
+Describes search for the item in detail.
+
+=item B<-t> text output
+
+Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
+but it won't look as nice.
+
+=item B<-u> unformatted
+
+Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
+
+=item B<-m> module
+
+Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation.
+This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail
+you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find
+the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
+
+=item B<-l> file name only
+
+Display the file name of the module found.
+
+=item B<-F> file names
+
+Consider arguments as file names, no search in directories will be performed.
+
+=item B<-f> perlfunc
+
+The B<-f> option followed by the name of a perl built in function will
+extract the documentation of this function from L<perlfunc>.
+
+=item B<-q> perlfaq
+
+The B<-q> option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search
+the question headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching
+the regular expression.
+
+=item B<-X> use an index if present
+
+The B<-X> option looks for a entry whose basename matches the name given on the
+command line in the file C<$Config{archlib}/pod.idx>. The pod.idx file should
+contain fully qualified filenames, one per line.
+
+=item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName>
+
+The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
+are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<File/Basename>. You may also
+give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. You make also give a
+partial or wrong-case name, such as "basename" for "File::Basename", but
+this will be slower, if there is more then one page with the same partial
+name, you will only get the first one.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+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> 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>.
