NAME App::perlfind - A more knowledgeable perldoc SYNOPSIS # perlfind UNIVERSAL::isa # (runs `perldoc perlobj`) DESCRIPTION "perlfind" is like "perldoc" except it knows about more things. Try these: perlfind xor perlfind foreach perlfind isa perlfind AUTOLOAD perlfind TIEARRAY perlfind INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR perlfind '$^F' perlfind '\Q' perlfind PERL5OPT perlfind :mmap perlfind __WARN__ perlfind __PACKAGE__ perlfind head4 For efficiency, "alias pod=perlfind". FUNCTIONS run The main function, which is called by the "perlfind" program. try_module Takes as argument the name of a module, tries to load that module and executes the formatter, giving that module as an argument. If loading the module fails, this subroutine does nothing. execute Executes the given command using "exec()". In debug mode, it also prints the command before executing it. find_matches Takes a word and returns the matches for that word. It's in a separate function to separate logic from presentation so other programs can use this module as well. OPTIONS Options can be shortened according to "Case and abbreviations" in Getopt::Long. "--perldoc-command", "-c" Specifies the POD formatter/pager to delegate to. Default is "perldoc" "annopod" from AnnoCPAN::Perldoc is a better alternative. "--debug" Prints the whole command before executing it. "--dry-run", "-n" Just print the command that would be executed; don't actually execute it. "--help", "-h", "-?" Prints a brief help message and exits. "--man", "-m" Prints the manual page and exits.
