That's what -l is telling you, for every possible NAME.

The builtin function grep is finally only found in perlfunc , but operators like == only in perlop .

D:\Users\lanx>perldoc -lf ==
C:\Perl_64\lib\pods\perlfunc.pod
C:\Perl_64\lib\pods\perlop.pod

D:\Users\lanx>perldoc -f ==
  Equality Operators
    Binary "==" returns true if the left argument is numerically equal
+ to
    the right argument.

What am I missing with my install?

 

$ perldoc -f ==
No documentation for perl function '==' found
$ sudo apt-get install perl-doc

It's probably MSWin specific. It doesn't work for me either, not even in blead:

$ perldoc -f ==

Probably a glitch on console level.(?)

I used Windows and you Linux and bash tries to use == for its own syntax.(untested)

( You know Perl was built for UNIX ... Ehm wait... ;)

update

Nope: works with Ubuntu and Perl 5.18, so probably a bug with newer Perl versions.
