-
-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.

-
-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

-Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
