You need to have the path that contains your perldoc ahead of the standard system paths; eg: 
PATH=~alex/bin/;/usr/local/bin/;/usr/bin/;...

(Setting the PATH depends on your shell, but make sure your path is firt).

WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON - putting user dirs for your path before the system paths can lead to some bad attacks if your box gets comprimised; if ~alex/bin/cp is put in your dir, and you use "cp stuff" without noticing, you could be doing very bad things. Which is why it's highly recommended that you never have "." in your path, and avoiding using anything beyond standard paths if you are root.
