It's a more specific man section than just (3), meaning "libraries (Perl 
modules)". But not all installations create man pages from the embedded pod 
documentation, so perldoc probably is a safer bet.

I haven't tested what happens, and I've looked at the code but haven't been 
able to figure out why this would be so. I thought report_safe preserved the 
original spam unmodified, with any rewriting taking place in the header copy 
in the encapsulating message. Maybe the documentation is backwards, but the 
current code preserves the originals of the rewritten headers as 
X-Spam-Prev-<name>. Maybe the documentation is obsolete. Could please 
somebody knowing more explain?
