On my perl distribution i can't execute "perlre", why?
i always get an errore perlre: not found. When i try
to find the executable file i jus find
------------------------------------
/usr/perl5/5.00503/pod/perlre.pod
/usr/perl5/5.00503/pod/perlref.pod
/usr/perl5/5.00503/pod/perlreftut.pod
/usr/perl5/man/man1/perlre.1
/usr/perl5/man/man1/perlref.1
/usr/perl5/man/man1/perlreftut.1
------------------------------------
Why ?, how can i be able to see the "perlre" help?
I am having the same problem with perlsyn,
perlfunc,perlop and many others.
Thanks.
Joe.
