Ordinarily I would agree with you. But I know my own brain and
how it works. I only learn by doing. Have tried to change that
and can't.
A good tutorial book *will* make you "do." The brian d foy book does
exactly that with things to try, and questions to explore in your own
code. It
The signatures in the docs are often the exact same signatures
as the code they are documenting.

$ perldoc -f index
index STR,SUBSTR,POSITION
