If you have a standard, modern perl installation on your machine, try a few of these commands and see where it takes you:
man perlsyn man perldata man perlop man perlfunc man perltoot man perl perldoc perltoc perldoc perldsc perldoc perlfaq4 perldoc perlfaq3 perldoc perlfaq2 perldoc -f system
Also try reading perldoc on other perlfaq versions. There may be several more.
