The core parts of perldoc are still, in my view, the sine qua non of good 
developer documentation. They’re almost exactly the right balance of normative 
specifications of the language and library and informative commentary on the 
use and implementation considerations.

For example, consider perldoc perlmod: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlmod.html 
<https://perldoc.perl.org/perlmod.html>

It’s something I aspire to when writing docs in any language.
