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.
