Also, do not neglect 'perldoc NNNNN' where NNNNN is the name of a perl
or .pm file. Many times these program files contain documentation within
them. Man, the man pages are usefull as well. Go to the 'doc' directory
and type 'nroff -man filename > filename.txt' The filename.txt file will
contain the documentation in human readable format.

The man pages and the perldoc stuff often contains additional
information.
