    -q   Search the text of questions (not answers) in perlfaq[1-9]

PageName|ModuleName...
         is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You
         may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
         `perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info' or like
         `Term/Info', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.

BuiltinFunction
         is the name of a perl function.  Will extract documentation from
         `perlfunc'.

FAQRegex
         is a regex. Will search perlfaq[1-9] for and extract any
         questions that match.

Any switches in the PERLDOC environment variable will be used before the
command line arguments.  The optional pod index file contains a list of
filenames, one per line.
