I find from reading perldoc perlvar, about a thousand lines in is help for %ENV. Is there a way to find that from the command line directly?
On my Windows machine, I've tried the following
perldoc ENV
perldoc %ENV
perldoc %%ENV
perldoc -r ENV (returns info about Use Env)
perldoc -r %ENV
perldoc -r %%%ENV
perldoc -r %%%%ENV (says No documentation found for "%ENV")
None actually return information about the %ENV variable.
How do I use perldoc to find out about %ENV, if I don't want to have to eye-grep through thousands of line?
I've tried the suggested "perldoc perlvar" and then typing /%ENV, but nothing happens.
perl -v: This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Though I've asked about %ENV, this also applies to any general term, so knowing that %ENV is in perlvar for this one example won't help me next time when I don't know which section.
Is there a way to get perldoc to dump everything (ugh) and I can grep the output?
