Hmm. Whenever the docs don't do it for me, I simply type
perldoc -m HTML::Form
to look at the source, and I can probably still have the answer closer
to 15 seconds, not a 1/2 hour.
I've also never seen a Perl function accept either a filename or
a string in the same parameter... since that would be ambiguous, since
any filename could be a string, and any string could be a filename.
So I would have looked for a different function already.
This is not to say that more examples wouldn't be nice, but I don't
think they're necessary, at least for the question you cited above.
