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.
