(In addition, if running under HP-UX, C 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 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. =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<-U> run insecurely Because B does not run properly tainted, and is known to have security issues, it will not normally execute as the superuser. If you use the B<-U> flag, it will do so, but only after 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. =item B The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C) are specified either as C or C. You may also give a descriptive name of a page, such as C. =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT Any switches in the C environment variable will be used before the command line arguments. C also searches directories specified by the C (or C if C is not defined) and C environment variables. (The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as C itself, are available.) C will use, in order of preference, the pager defined in C, C, or C before trying to find a pager on its own. (C is not used if C was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.) One useful value for C is C. =head1 VERSION This is perldoc v2.03. =head1 AUTHOR Kenneth Albanowski Minor updates by Andy Dougherty , and others. =cut # # Version 2.03: Sun Apr 23 16:56:34 BST 2000 # Hugo van der Sanden # don't die when 'use blib' fails # Version 2.02: Mon Mar 13 18:03:04 MST 2000 # Tom Christiansen # Added -U insecurity option # Version 2.01: Sat Mar 11 15:22:33 MST 2000 # Tom Christiansen , querulously. # Security and correctness patches. # What a twisted bit of distasteful spaghetti code. # Version 2.0: ???? # Version 1.15: Tue Aug 24 01:50:20 EST 1999 # Charles Wilson # changed /pod/ directory to /pods/ for cygwin # to support cygwin/win32 # Version 1.14: Wed Jul 15 01:50:20 EST 1998 # Robin Barker # -strict, -w cleanups # Version 1.13: Fri Feb 27 16:20:50 EST 1997 # Gurusamy Sarathy # -doc tweaks for -F and -X options # Version 1.12: Sat Apr 12 22:41:09 EST 1997 # Gurusamy Sarathy # -various fixes for win32 # Version 1.11: Tue Dec 26 09:54:33 EST 1995 # Kenneth Albanowski # -added Charles Bailey's further VMS patches, and -u switch # -added -t switch, with pod2text support # # Version 1.10: Thu Nov 9 07:23:47 EST 1995 # Kenneth Albanowski # -added VMS support # -added better error recognition (on no found pages, just exit.
