Hmm, I'll try!  How does it compare to piping to less as this?:

        $ info libc | less;

BTW, to someone who doesn't know perl, how do I install the File::Which
module?

        $ ./informan libc;
        Can't locate File/Which.pm in @INC (you may need to install the 
File::Which module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl 
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.40.1 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.40 /usr/share/perl5 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40 
/usr/share/perl/5.40 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ./informan line 20.
        BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./informan line 20.

apt-file(1) didn't help:

        $ apt-file find Find::Which;
        $


Have a lovely night!
Alex
