It appears that using perldoc perl gives the list of, e.g. perlre, perlvar, etc. Is this the best place to find the list of what's available as an overview or tutorial or reference manual section? Is there another, better list? ...
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 doc...
I need to use utf-8 characters in my perl-documentation. If I use: perldoc MyMod.pm I see strange characters. If I use: pod2text MyMod.pm everything is fine.

For instance, this code #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; opendir my $dir, "/tmp" or die "$!"; while (my $file = readdir($dir)...

I've come into ownership of a bunch of code that's held together with various Perl scripts. There's some documentation in the form of comments (not Pod) embedded in these scripts that I'd like to be able to extract and browse in an HTML format. Basically, I'm looking for something like javadoc or rubydoc, but for Perl. "perldoc" seeme...
