Look at a module's source-code

Often the description in the documentation of a module is not quite enough, I want to see how the module is written. On any Unix-like system this does that if the module has any internal POD documentation. (Most from CPAN do.)

vi `perldoc -l Module::Name`

Nice. I was going to suggest, as an alternate (even though it doesn't stick you into an editor), `% perldoc -m Module::Name` [download] which is valid. However, it fails when looking up something that isn't a module, like perldoc itself: `% perldoc -m perldoc No documentation found for "perldoc".` [download] So... nice snippet. :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
