Are you trying to open perldoc to read?  If so, that is not the way it was meant to be 
used.  The perldoc
utility is an executable shell script, meant to be called from the command line:

perldoc -f func_name

Example:

Greetings! E:\d_drive\perlStuff>perldoc -f grep
    grep BLOCK LIST
    grep EXPR,LIST
            This is similar in spirit to, but not the same as, grep(1) and
            its relatives. In particular, it is not limited to using regular
            expressions.

            Evaluates the BLOCK or EXPR for each element of LIST (locally
...                @foo = grep(!/^#/, @bar);    # weed out comments

            or equivalently,

                @foo = grep {!/^#/} @bar;    # weed out comments

            Note that $_ is an alias to the list value, so it can be used to
...
           See also "map" for a list composed of the results of the BLOCK
            or EXPR.

Try it that way, and let us know how it works.  Start with:

perldoc perldoc
perldoc perl
