I do think the tool perldoc could be improved. For a language that is so DWIM, the tool is a bit obtuse.

Wishlist: perldoc [arg] starts as normal. Looks for programs or modules in path of the name. Upon failure, reverts to -f behavior. Upon failure reverts to -q behavior. Upon failure goes to a new grep-like behavior through all the core non-module perldocs (perltoc, perltoot, etc) and gives an interactive menu of results to choose from.

I know I'm probably not the hacker for this job, so I humbly de-volunteer, but I would sing loud and far the praises of anyone who patched it up to be so (and other features everyone deemed right and good).

Better automatic access to the docs would probably save every guru in the community from issuing at least 5 RTFMs a year. If, like the CPAN, we could only bank it...
