There are a lot of other things in perlfunc besides "functions" as such, for instance the discussion of "next," "last," and "redo" which aren't functions either, they're flow control syntax. I think its good that there is one thing to remember to get the documentation about a specific feature, perldoc -f ... and if the specific features were all broken out into their own sections, so you had to try several things, or follow "see instead: ..." links, that would be a hassle. Adding a note in perlop that says that that is where they live, and you ask for documentation for the placeholder -X to read about them, would be a good thing in my opinion though.
