Truly. > I think you're in a minority there - very few people look for the documentation for perl functions by loading "man perlfunc" and searching through, most do "perldoc -f <function>". And when helping people out on IRC or mailing lists I never load up each perlfaq file and grep through - perldoc -q is MUCH more efficient. I'm actually surprised you've never used either of those features. It's also very useful (vital even) on Windows (except Cygwin) where there is no "man". Matt.Thread Previous | Thread Next
