    If your shell environment and PATH are similar to mine, "more" is actually just a synonym (alias) for "less", and you can try "man less" at the command line to read all about it. It's a very handy tool with a long, venerated history in unix-land. (If you use perldoc at the command line -- and I recommend that -- it should be piping its output to "less" by default.)
