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.) + +=head1 AUTHOR + +Kenneth Albanowski <kjahds@kjahds.com> + +Minor updates by Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu> + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +=head1 DIAGNOSTICS + +=cut + +if(@ARGV<1) { + die <<EOF; +Usage: $0 [-h] [-v] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName + +We suggest you use "perldoc perldoc" to get aquainted +with the system. +EOF +} + +use Getopt::Std; + +sub usage{ + warn "@_\n" if @_; + die <<EOF; +perldoc [-h] [-v] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName... + -h Display this help message. + -v Verbosely describe what's going on. +PageName|ModuleName... + is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at.
