"perldoc" to me has always been this kind of magicians hat where you wave a wand and chant some special words and magically out pops some thing you never read or heard before.
Is it possible to somehow pipe the whole thing into a text editor so I can scan or read the whole thing?
Certainly. The command 'perldoc perldoc' will list the command line options for perldoc; one of those will let you choose plain text or another form of output. Alternatively, you could write your own program, possibly using one or more modules, to locate and render pod files. There are several modules on CPAN for pod. Is that all you needed?
