in thread Target filename of a symbolic link

On *nix, perldoc perlfunc | less (or with the appropriate $PAGER setup), and search for link.

On Win*, if you don't have a useful pager, it's a bit harder...try loading the HTML page and searching that.

Regardless, there is always perldoc.com: the perlfunc page, or search for perlfunc, or search for link.
