See below for more description of the switches.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Prints out a brief B<h>elp message.
-=item B<-v>
+=item B<-D>
-Describes search for the item in detail (B<v>erbosely).
+B<D>escribes search for the item in B<d>etail.
=item B<-t>
perldoc -f sprintf
+
=item B<-q> I<perlfaq-search-regexp>
The B<-q> option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search
the B<q>uestion headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching
-the regular expression. Example: C<perldoc -q shuffle>
+the regular expression.
+
+Example:
+
+ perldoc -q shuffle
+
+
+=item B<-v> I<perlvar>
+
+The B<-v> option followed by the name of a Perl predefined variable will
+extract the documentation of this variable from L<perlvar>.
+
+Examples:
+
+ perldoc -v '$"'
+ perldoc -v @+
+ perldoc -v DATA
+
=item B<-T>
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>.
+For simple names like 'foo', when the normal search fails to find
+a matching page, a search with the "perl" prefix is tried as well.
+So "perldoc intro" is enough to find/render "perlintro.pod".
+
=item B<-n> I<some-formatter>
Specify replacement for nroff
even more descriptive output than the C<-v> switch does -- the higher the
number, the more it emits.
+
+=head1 CHANGES
+
+Up to 3.14_05, the switch B<-v> was used to produce verbose
+messages of B<perldoc> operation, which is now enabled by B<-D>.
