There is a subtle difference between: 
perldoc sort
and 
perldoc -f sort
The former gives you the documentation of the sort pragma, whereas the latter gives you the documentation of the sort function. But indeed, you appear to need at least 5.8.0 for the sort pragma.

    Ahhh... When I do perldoc sort I get "No documentation for sort..." So only perldoc -f sort gives me anything. I think you're right, I must need 5.8.0 or better for the sort pragma. Thanks!
