Re: RFC: perlfeaturedelta

Excellent idea: I wonder though if it wouldn't be better to extend perldoc with a switch to search the perlxxxdelta pages.

So, just as we already have:

 perldoc -f function
 perlfoc -q FAQ

add a switch:

 perldoc -D delta_thing

I'd also like a -k switch to search for keywords (I regularly forget where things like BEGIN and AUTOLOAD live).

Good idea! I like it. Especially since it saves me a lot of rewriting the docs :-) The only issue I see with it, is that the perlXdelta docs are not organized by topic, so some things will still be hard to find.
