That would be correct. I was looking for, not a cpan package , but an already implemented command line; or at least confirm that it doesn't exist.

Perldoc modules definately go the distance and implement some of the functionality bereft of the command line tool and of course make it easier to write a wrapper around perldoc (which is what I was trying to avoid).

There are so many ways to do any one thing in perl, so I thought it a good idea to ask before giving up and wrapping. I should have phrased my question "(o_O) Is it really NOT implemented in perldoc already !?".

*grumbles* python? lol; heretic!
