% man perldata

% man CGI

And if you're really lucky, and you sysadmin has run splitpod
and then manified the resulting files,
% man dbmopen
% man chomp
etc.

perldoc is an embarrassing mistake and misunderstanding.
The problem with perldoc is that it is not generalizable or extensible
to any docset. It only works for the perl distribution, and then
only idiosyncratically. It was not designed. It tries to do many
different unrelated things. It was kludged as one hulking brute of an
application. I believe that the wrong set of primitives were chosen.
Actually, primitives weren't chosen, but special hacks added. That's
the problem. It should be several separate interchangeable tools. With
interchangeability, comes power. This is not a power tool. It's a hack,
one that grew beyond its purpose into something that should not live.
Here are the perldoc options:
-h help
Yes, that one is fine.
-v verbose
So is that.
But the rest are range from dubious to lousy:
-t text output
That's merely:
pod2text `pmpath MODULE`
as opposed to:
pod2man `pmpath MODULE` | nroff -man
-u unformatted
That's merely:
cat `pmpath MODULE`
-m module
That's merely:
$PAGER `pmpath MODULE`
-l file name only
That's merely:
pmpath MODULE
-F file names
That's merely:
pod2text FILE
or
pod2man FILE | nroff -man
-f perlfunc
That's indicative of a poorly thought out feature. Rather
than hacking perldoc, one should have fixed the documentation
installation itself. You can see this is dumb because it should
not be embarrassginly hardcoded to work only for things from
perlfunc. What about =items somewhere else? Of course, those
=itme function functions should all be in their own separate
documents, as splitpod produces. What about catting a function
doc from POSIX.pod? How about catting the real function from
POSIX.pm?
-q perlfaq
Once again, a very bad idea. Why should you there be
so much built-in knowledge? What if you want to check
the =head[12]s on other documents?
-X use an index if present
Yet another hack. Does this work for a non-perl-distribution
tree? What builds this? What is this really? Isn't this just
a bad substitute for the whatis database?
We should have either written a portable replacement for man that groks
pods, or we should have written nice interchangeable pieces.
Instead, we have this anti-toolthink hack that just keeps getting worse
and worse as more kludges are stuffed into it.
Shoot it now.

Here's its README. This is just the product of an evening's hacking, but
you can see the bottom entries for approaches that I consider less
monolithically idiotic vis-a-vis poddocs.

=========================================================
pmpath - show the module's full path

=========================================================
podgrep - grep in pods of a file
Flags:
-i means case insensitive match
-p means page output
-f means format output
-h means check for matches in pod =head and =item headers alone,
and to keep printing podagraphs until the next header is found.
$ podgrep mail `pmpath CGI`
(prints out podagraphs from the CGI.pm manpage that mention mail)
$ podgrep -i destructor `sitepods`
(prints out podagraphs that mention destructors in the
site-installed pods)
$ podgrep -i 'type.?glob' `stdpods`
(prints out podagraphs that mention typeglob in the
standard pods)
$ podgrep -hpfi "lock" `faqpods`
(prints out all podagraphs with "lock" in the headers
case-insensitively, then then formats these with pod2text, then
shows them in the pager with matches high-lighted)
$ podgrep -fh seek `podpath perlfunc`
(prints out and formats podagraphs from the standard perlfunc manpage
whose headers or items contain "seek".)
=========================================================
pfcat - show pods from perlfunc
(uses podgrep, uses those options)
$ pfcat seek
is like
$ podgrep -h seek `podpath perlfunc`
Whereas
$ pfcat -pf seek
is like
$ podgrep -pfh seek `podpath perlfunc`
which is like
$ podgrep -h seek `podpath perlfunc` | podtext | $PAGER +/seek
=========================================================
podtoc - list table of contents of a podpage

What sort of system are you running and what webserver? Sounds like
misconfiguration in CGI on your webserver. Be sure that the script is in a
directory that allows execution (like 'cgi-bin'!).

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.
]From: Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
]Date: 21 Sep 1998 19:53:43 -0700
]Subject: comp.lang.perl.moderated available via e-mail
]
]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
