-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-B<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is
-embedded in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays
-it via C<groff -man | $PAGER>. (In addition, if running under HP-UX,
-C<col -x> will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for
-the perl library modules.
-
-Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
-which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
-
-If you are looking for a table of contents to the Perl library modules
-documentation, see the L<perltoc> page.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 5
-
-=item B<-h>
-
-Prints out a brief B<h>elp message.
-
-=item B<-D>
-
-B<D>escribes search for the item in B<d>etail.
-
-=item B<-t>
-
-Display docs using plain B<t>ext converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
-but it probably won't look as nice.
-
-=item B<-u>
-
-Skip the real Pod formatting, and just show the raw Pod source (B<U>nformatted)
-
-=item B<-m> I<module>
-
-Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation.
-This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail
-you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find
-the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
-
-=item B<-l>
-
-Display onB<l>y the file name of the module found.
-
-=item B<-F>
-
-Consider arguments as file names; no search in directories will be performed.
-
-=item B<-f> I<perlfunc>
-
-The B<-f> option followed by the name of a perl built-in function will
-extract the documentation of this function from L<perlfunc>.
-
-Example:
-
- perldoc -f sprintf
-
-
-=item B<-q> I<perlfaq-search-regexp>
-
-The B<-q> option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search
-the B<q>uestion headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching
-the regular expression.
-
-Example:
-
- perldoc -q shuffle
-
-
-=item B<-v> I<perlvar>
-
-The B<-v> option followed by the name of a Perl predefined variable will
-extract the documentation of this variable from L<perlvar>.
-
-Examples:
-
- perldoc -v '$"'
- perldoc -v @+
- perldoc -v DATA
-
-
-=item B<-T>
-
-This specifies that the output is not to be sent to a pager, but is to
-be sent right to STDOUT.
-
-=item B<-d> I<destination-filename>
-
-This specifies that the output is to be sent neither to a pager nor
-to STDOUT, but is to be saved to the specified filename. Example:
-C<perldoc -oLaTeX -dtextwrapdocs.tex Text::Wrap>
-
-=item B<-o> I<output-formatname>
-
-This specifies that you want Perldoc to try using a Pod-formatting
-class for the output format that you specify. For example:
-C<-oman>. This is actually just a wrapper around the C<-M> switch;
-using C<-oI<formatname>> just looks for a loadable class by adding
-that format name (with different capitalizations) to the end of
-different classname prefixes.
-
-For example, C<-oLaTeX> currently tries all of the following classes:
-Pod::Perldoc::ToLaTeX Pod::Perldoc::Tolatex Pod::Perldoc::ToLatex
-Pod::Perldoc::ToLATEX Pod::Simple::LaTeX Pod::Simple::latex
-Pod::Simple::Latex Pod::Simple::LATEX Pod::LaTeX Pod::latex Pod::Latex
-Pod::LATEX.
-
-=item B<-M> I<module-name>
-
-This specifies the module that you want to try using for formatting the
-pod. The class must at least provide a C<parse_from_file> method.
-For example: C<perldoc -MPod::Perldoc::ToChecker>.
-
-You can specify several classes to try by joining them with commas
-or semicolons, as in C<-MTk::SuperPod;Tk::Pod>.
-
-=item B<-w> I<option:value> or B<-w> I<option>
-
-This specifies an option to call the formatter B<w>ith. For example,
-C<-w textsize:15> will call
-C<< $formatter->textsize(15) >> on the formatter object before it is
-used to format the object. For this to be valid, the formatter class
-must provide such a method, and the value you pass should be valid.
-(So if C<textsize> expects an integer, and you do C<-w textsize:big>,
-expect trouble.)
-
-You can use C<-w optionname> (without a value) as shorthand for
-C<-w optionname:I<TRUE>>. This is presumably useful in cases of on/off
-features like: C<-w page_numbering>.
-
-You can use an "=" instead of the ":", as in: C<-w textsize=15>. This
-might be more (or less) convenient, depending on what shell you use.
-
-=item B<-X>
-
-Use an index if it is present. The B<-X> option looks for an entry
-whose basename matches the name given on the command line in the file
-C<$Config{archlib}/pod.idx>. The F<pod.idx> file should contain fully
-qualified filenames, one per line.
-
-=item B<-L> I<language_code>
-
-This allows one to specify the I<language code> for the desired language
-translation. If the C<POD2::E<lt>language_codeE<gt>> package isn't
-installed in your system, the switch is ignored.
-All available translation packages are to be found under the C<POD2::>
-namespace. See L<POD2::IT> (or L<POD2::FR>) to see how to create new
-localized C<POD2::*> documentation packages and integrate them into
-L<Pod::Perldoc>.
-
-=item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName|URL>
-
-The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
-are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<< File/Basename >>. You may also
-give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. For URLs, HTTP and
-HTTPS are the only kind currently supported.
-
-For simple names like 'foo', when the normal search fails to find
-a matching page, a search with the "perl" prefix is tried as well.
-So "perldoc intro" is enough to find/render "perlintro.pod".
-
-=item B<-n> I<some-formatter>
-
-Specify replacement for groff
-
-=item B<-r>
-
-Recursive search.
-
-=item B<-i>
-
-Ignore case.
-
-=item B<-V>
-
-Displays the version of perldoc you're running.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 SECURITY
-
-Because B<perldoc> does not run properly tainted, and is known to
-have security issues, when run as the superuser it will attempt to
-drop privileges by setting the effective and real IDs to nobody's
-or nouser's account, or -2 if unavailable. If it cannot relinquish
-its privileges, it will not run.
-
-
-=head1 ENVIRONMENT
-
-Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
-command line arguments.
-
-Useful values for C<PERLDOC> include C<-oman>, C<-otext>, C<-otk>, C<-ortf>,
-C<-oxml>, and so on, depending on what modules you have on hand; or
-the formatter class may be specified exactly with C<-MPod::Perldoc::ToMan>
-or the like.
-
-C<perldoc> also searches directories
-specified by the C<PERL5LIB> (or C<PERLLIB> if C<PERL5LIB> is not
-defined) and C<PATH> environment variables.
-(The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as
-C<perldoc> itself, are available.)
-
-C<perldoc> will use, in order of preference, the pager defined in
-C<PERLDOC_PAGER>, C<MANPAGER>, or C<PAGER> before trying to find a pager
-on its own. (C<MANPAGER> is not used if C<perldoc> was told to display
-plain text or unformatted pod.)
-
-One useful value for C<PERLDOC_PAGER> is C<less -+C -E>.
-
-Having PERLDOCDEBUG set to a positive integer will make perldoc emit
-even more descriptive output than the C<-v> switch does; the higher the
-number, the more it emits.
-
-
-=head1 CHANGES
-
-Up to 3.14_05, the switch B<-v> was used to produce verbose
-messages of B<perldoc> operation, which is now enabled by B<-D>.
