C<perl6 --doc> replaces p5's C<perldoc> (that's the latest idea from damian, although it seems not to be published yet).
the most likely short names, C<< < -d -o -c > >> are all taken by either p5 or p6 command-line. i don't want to use C<-d>, because that has to do with the debugger in p5, so makes it harder for p6 to catch accidental usage. C<--doc> probably warrants a short name, since it will be called frequently--i hope, reducing irc traffic :) but i haven't decided on a good name yet. i'm open to suggestions. ~jerry
