HowTo search Perl Man pages Q

Hi All;

Is there an index or better still a search engine to search my local
(on my PC) Active PERL User Guide web pages?

The perltoc is OK but not fine enough.

Regards
Ian

(I assume you're talking about the .3perl manpages.)

Do you know about apropos(1), a.k.a. man -k? There is also the somewhat
grotesque trick of grepping /usr/share/man, or wherever you keep you
manpages.
