However, that only works if the person has been nice enough to include
some documentation for a module
$ perldoc -l Template::Directive
No documentation found for "Template::Directive".
If they have though, You can use the -m option to view the source in your
pager as well.
$ perldoc -m Test::Builder::Tester
Though more often than not I find myself doing
$ sudo emacs `perldoc -l Test::Builder::Tester`
To load it up in emacs or suchlike. (This is another reason not to run
always as root...perldoc will barf if you run it as root, but doing it
with sudo the `` doesn't have root privlidiges at this point.)
Later.
Mark.
