check out the man page called "perlfunc", it describes all of perl's functions and what they do. if you are running on a shell that lets you create aliases or functions (like bash), a good alias is: 
alias perlfunc='perldoc -f'
# or as a function:
function perlfunc {
    local func=${1:?"Need a function name"}
    perldoc "$1"
}
# add one of the above to your ".bashrc...

Then you can just type the name of the function: 
> perlfunc print

               Printing to a closed pipe or socket will generate a SIG

Note, the above is not the whole entry (it's a page long, but will tell you exactly what it does...

if you have your documentation installed as 'manpages', 

man perlfunc

[download]
will show you the whole list. (it's *way* long...)

Hope that helps...
