sometimes some PODs are very long I can't go back once I read to the end. The only way I can go back is to issue the line code again. Is there any way around this problem under window prompt?
Generally, the perldoc command sends its output to a pager program. That's a program that lets you read the documentation one screenful at a time, generally using the space bar to advance to the next page. Some pagers (such as 'less') will let you search forward and backwards through the documentation, among other conveniences. Most Unix systems have at least the pagers 'more' and 'less'. If you wish to use a different pager than the default, or none at all, check the pager options covered in 'perldoc perldoc', which is the documentation of perldoc itself. Of course, the default pager on your system may already be capable of doing what you need; check its documentation as well.
