in reply to Perl documentation

I'll just pick one of the many examples I could think of as an example of what needs improving in Perl's documentation. Where do you look when you want to learn about hashes? When I added hash support to VarStructor 1.0, I had to resort to a Perlmonks tutorial because I couldn't find the equivalent information in the perldoc.

    Hmmm, perhaps perlintro which explains them and then says to see perldata for more?
