-perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in pod format.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-v>] [B<-t>] [B<-u>] [B<-m>] [B<-l>] [B<-F>] [B<-X>] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
-
-B<perldoc> B<-f> BuiltinFunction
-
-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 | $PAGER>. (In addition, if running under HP-UX,
-C<col -x> will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for
-the perl library modules.
-
-Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
-which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
-
-If you are looking for a table of contents to the Perl library modules
-documentation, see the L<perltoc> page.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 5
-
-=item B<-h> help
-
-Prints out a brief help message.
-
-=item B<-v> verbose
-
-Describes search for the item in detail.
-
-=item B<-t> text output
-
-Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
-but it won't look as nice.
-
-=item B<-u> unformatted
-
-Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
-
-=item B<-m> module
-
-Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation.
-This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail
-you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find
-the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
-
-=item B<-l> file name only
-
-Display the file name of the module found.
-
-=item B<-F> file names
-
-Consider arguments as file names, no search in directories will be performed.
-
-=item B<-f> perlfunc
-
-The B<-f> option followed by the name of a perl built in function will
-extract the documentation of this function from L<perlfunc>.
-
-=item B<-q> perlfaq
-
-The B<-q> option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search
-the question headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching
-the regular expression.
-
-=item B<-X> use an index if present
-
-The B<-X> option looks for an entry whose basename matches the name given on the
-command line in the file C<$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>.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 SECURITY
-
-Because B<perldoc> does not run properly tainted, and is known to
-have security issues, when run as the superuser it will attempt to
-drop privileges by setting the effective and real IDs to nobody's
-or nouser's account, or -2 if unavailable. If it cannot relinquish
-its privileges, it will not run.
-
-=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>.
-
-=head1 VERSION
-
-This is perldoc v2.05.
