Where is the documentation?  Why are there no man pages, no pod?

Note that since Perl is a required component of Debian and some systems
have special requirements, the documentation has been broken out into a
special package, perl-5.\d+-doc.  This should be installed by default on 
most Debian systems but is still easy to remove.

If you need the documentation and are the admin of this machine, type
the following as root:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install perl-$version-doc

$version is the version of Perl you are currently using.  You can find
this out by typing the following (as any user):
# perl -v

Use only the major version.  That is the version before the _.  If your
Perl says:
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for mips-linux

Then you would type
# apt-get install perl-5.005-doc

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at either
perl@packages.debian.org or torin@daft.com.
