Re^2: is there a man equivalent for perl that's searchable?

Greetings Gangabass, and thank you for your reply.

Out of frustration, I opted to get a copy of the FreeBSD MAN pages script and adapt it to work on my locally installed commands, installed applications, and perl. It works perfectly for all *roff formatted pages. But not as well for the perl module man pages. :(

Do you, or anyone else know how I might achieve the same results as the CPAN search - eg; perl::monks?

Thank you for all your time and consideration.
