#
# This is not to be confused with Tom Christianson's perlman, which is a
# man replacement, written in perl. This perldoc is strictly for reading
# the perl manuals, though it too is written in perl.
#
# Version 1.1: Thu Nov  9 07:23:47 EST 1995
#		Kenneth Albanowski <kjahds@kjahds.com>
#	-added VMS support
#	-added better error recognition (on no found pages, just exit. On
#	 missing nroff/pod2man, just display raw pod.)
#	-added recursive/case-insensitive matching (thanks, Andreas). This
#	 slows things down a bit, unfortunately. Give a precise name, and
#	 it'll run faster.
#
# Version 1.01:	Tue May 30 14:47:34 EDT 1995
#		Andy Dougherty  <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu>
#   -added pod documentation.
#   -added PATH searching.
#   -added searching pod/ subdirectory (mainly to pick up perlfunc.pod
#    and friends.

=head1 NAME

perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in pod format.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-v>] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName

=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 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.

=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<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>. 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.)

PageName|ModuleName...
         is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You 
         may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
         `perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info', 
         `Term/Info', the partial name of a module, like `info', or 
         `makemaker', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.
         
Any switches in the PERLDOC environment variable will be used before the 
command line arguments.
