The of-so-usual -h option gives you information on perldoc's ussage: perldoc [options] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName... perldoc [options] -f BuiltinFunction perldoc [options] -q FAQRegex .... FAQRegex is a regex. Will search perlfaq[1-9] for and extract any questions that match. So you might try just perldoc -q file if that's too long try something more. Say perldoc -q increment.*file And you are there. Jenda =========== [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ========== There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
