Greetings...
Okay, this problem is finally annoying me to the point that I want a
solution. Since updating to newer Perl 5.6x versions my perldoc search
functionality has basically disappeared.
Per the perldoc perldoc:
-----
PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as
"File::Basename") are specified either as
"File::Basename" or "File/Basename". You may also give
a descriptive name of a page, such as "perlfunc". You
may also give a partial or wrong-case name, such as
"basename" for "File::Basename", but this will be
slower, if there is more then one page with the same
partial name, you will only get the first one.

What happens for me:
-----
LOC: ~/work/udsum/sessions
s0840dev (jeremy) [123] $ perldoc basename
No documentation found for "basename".
LOC: ~/work/udsum/sessions
s0840dev (jeremy) [124] $ perldoc File::Basename
User Contributed Perl Documentation .1::File::Basename(3)
NAME
fileparse - split a pathname into pieces
...cut...

Prior to my upgrade from 5.0x to 5.6x this functionality has always worked
properly. Is there some secret compile option, env variable, or something
that I am missing to restore proper perldoc functionality? I have compiled
Perl 5.6 on four separate Solaris systems. All at different times and some
with different minor versions, i.e. separate tarballs.
Any thoughts?
