# Perldoc revision #1 -- look up a piece of documentation in .pod format that
# is embedded in the perl installation tree.
#
# 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 1.01: 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>] PageName|ModuleName
=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<PageName|ModuleName>
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 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.)

is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You
