                Module Documentation
            </h4>
            <p>
                Perl modules come with their own documentation. This includes modules installed from <a href="/cpan.html">CPAN</a>. On Unix-like (including Linux and Mac OS X) systems, you can access the documentation (for installed modules) with the <code>perldoc</code> command.
            </p>
            <p>
                For example, to get the documentation for <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?IO::File ">IO::File</a>, enter<br />
                <code>perldoc IO::File</code> from your command prompt.
            </p>
            <ul>
                <li>Module documentation is also available on <a href="http://search.cpan.org">search.cpan.org</a>
                </li>
