Eh, it's not so bad.  You can:

1. Load the perlfunc page, do ^F and type what you're looking for;
2. If you don't know what page it's in, do a Find File from the Explorer
rooted at the html tree;
3. Write a quick-and-dirty equivalent script using File::Find and put it in
your path.

I've never bothered with #3.  I find #1 gets me where I want about 5-10
seconds slower than perldoc -f.

You can use perldoc.com like so: http://www.perldoc.com/f?sort
and also http://www.perldoc.com/m?File::Find

I'm in the middle of re-vamping this site, but it works for now ;)

P.S. I replied to Clinton Pierce with this exact same message, but forgot to include the list, so
i included it here.
