in thread What is perldoc -lf doing?

It's probably MSWin specific. It doesn't work for me either, not even in blead:
$ perldoc -f == No documentation for perl function '==' found

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    Nope, it's missing on both platforms.

    X:\>perldoc -f == No documentation for perl function '==' found X:\>perl -v This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1)

    My first working test was with Win/5.16 (later Linux/5.18).

    Most probably a regression between 5.18 and 5.24, perlop is still showing the entry.
