Avast PerlMonks!

While we all know that perldoc will render the masterpieces that dwell in tagged areas. Is there some super perldoc one-liner that will pull out a specific function|name|whatever from a personally made module or proggie?

So far as I can tell, the answer is no (UPDATE: can anybody confirm this). It would be wicked fantastic to type a one liner like this perldoc -tT huh.pl whatThe and get the comments for the subroutine "whatThe" back; which... for the following program is " This subroutine does nothing (yay)." 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

=head1 NAME

 Huh.pl

=cut

=head1 DESCRIPTION

 Yeah, I dunno.

=cut


use strict;

my $now = 0;  

whatThe();
exit($now);

###############################
=head1 SUBROUTINES

=item  whatThe

    This subroutine does nothing (yay).

=cut

# best mysterious sub ever
sub whatThe
{
  #yawn
}


=back

=head1 SEE ALSO
sleep(-_-)z Z
