NAME

App::perlfind - A more knowledgeable perldoc

SYNOPSIS

    # perlfind UNIVERSAL::isa
    # (runs `perldoc perlobj`)

    # Include features of cpandoc and perldoc:

    # perlfind File::Find
    # perlfind -m Acme::BadExample | grep system
    # vim `perlfind -l Web::Scraper`
    # perlfind -q FAQ Keyword

DESCRIPTION

perlfind is like cpandoc and therefore also like perldoc except it knows about more things. Try these:

    perlfind xor
    perlfind foreach
    perlfind isa
    perlfind AUTOLOAD
    perlfind TIEARRAY
    perlfind INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
    perlfind '$^F'
    perlfind '\Q'
    perlfind PERL5OPT
    perlfind :mmap
    perlfind __WARN__
    perlfind __PACKAGE__
    perlfind head4
    perlfind UNITCHECK

If perlfind doesn't know about a search term, it will delegate the search to Pod::Cpandoc and ultimately Pod::Perldoc.

FUNCTIONS

find_matches

Takes a word and returns the matches for that word. It's in a separate function to separate logic from presentation so other programs can use this module as well.
