    Not so.
    $ perldoc -l Term::Shell /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Term/Shell.pod
    It gives you the location of the POD, which may or may not be the module itself.

    Makeshifts last the longest.

      Here is what I found from perldoc at perldoc.com
      -l file name only
          Display the file name of the module found.
      
      Now, I have used it all the time. I didn't know otherwise.
