From: Peng Yu on 20 May 2010 17:38 I'm not sure where to get the help page for a perl library function (such as getops from Getopt::Std) from linux command line. Maybe this is described in man perl. But I may overlook it. Would you please let me know how to do it? P.S. I could use webpage documentation. But I prefer command line help. Regards, Peng

There isn't any way other than looking all through 'perldoc Getopt::Std' until you find the right function (or using the search in your pager, of course). I've often thought it would be good to have something like 'perldoc -f Getopt::Std::getpos', but not enough to make it happen :). Ben |
