perlfunc: Document fallback to "top" format
perl 4’s perl.man says this: By default the top‐of‐page format is "top", but it may be set to the format of your choice by assigning the name to the $^ variable. This is still the case, but is completely undocumented in perl 5. In perl 5 the presence of a <FILEHANDLE_NAME>_TOP format will over- ride "top", as will $^, but "top" is still checked for in the absence of those. This should be documented. One thing I do mention here that perl 4 omits is that it is "top" in the current package. I also tweaked the wording of the preceding sentence.
