I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but I will have a go.

I don't know when (or if) it was replaced, but I have just checked a
5.6.1 Perl and it refers to FAQRegex ('perldoc -?' that is). So it would
seem to have been like that for some time.

The FAQ hasn't been removed, it just means that you can use a regex to
search (in case that was your question). So that the search that I
refered to in a previous post in this thread (i.e. 'perldoc -q "sort a
hash"') could also be written as 'perldoc -q "sort.+hash"'.
The above works fine on my build 810 installation. If it doesn't on
yours, then your installation may be cream-crackered.
