If you have a Win32 system, ActiveState has started including a compiled
HTML version of the perldocs that makes searching easier. Even if you don't
use that distribution the documentation can be useful.

You know... all of those FAQs are also distributed with Perl and can be
easily searched with perldoc:
perldoc -q roman
How can I output Roman numerals?
Get the http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-mod-
ule/Roman module.
And of course, you can always use perldoc to llok at the function call
itself:
perldoc -f open
