FW: Perldoc question

If new to unix and you want to find perldoc (or any module),
try this:

find . -name perldoc* -print

That will locate perldoc and show you the path to it.
You could also try:
 
whence perldoc

That may also work (works for me under ksh)

Hope that helps,

Joe

type this at your command line:
echo $PATH

That should display a few folders (/usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, etc...).

your perldoc executable should be located in a folder listed in your $PATH.

Good luck,
Tyler
