Is perldoc a UNIX thing? I'm happily UNIX free! No, it's not a "UNIX thing". It's Perl's own most direct point of access to the documentation. Under NIX OSen it may be that you can access said documentation pages with 'man' as well, but I happily use 'perldoc' all the time, despite the fact that I have to type a few more keys. It gives me the psychological feeling of looking into Perl's docs*. Also, you have the cool perldoc -f perldoc -q features. However I will ignore the attitude I perceive in your words and plainly suppose that you're using AS Perl under some flavour of Windows. Then you have access exactly to the same documentation in HTML form. Only, the cmd line tool is almost always more convenient, IMHO.	[reply]
