Module Documentation

Perl modules come with their own documentation. This includes modules installed from CPAN. On Unix-like (including Linux and Mac OS X) systems, you can access the documentation (for installed modules) with the perldoc command.

For example, to get the documentation for IO::File, enter
perldoc IO::File from your command prompt.

• Module documentation is also available on metacpan.org
