I'm getting to know perl, and I'd like to see all the nooks and crannies of each fuction, such as "print" switches, formats.....

I"ve searched the man pages, cpan and perldoc.com, I"m sure it's there but having trouble finding these .. do I call them function syntax?

Oh, and BTW it's 13 hrs till the stones concert starts...woopie! Toronto is real excited, but I don't get it. Just watching the news.

There is a nifty tool called perldoc, included in many (every?) UNIX perl installations. Man perldoc yields perldoc -f functionToLookup.

I was looking for formating information on print,,,, then I saw that there is a special function to print in a fromat wich is named ... printf or sprintf... so I was searching for the wrong example...sorry for the post.....found what I wanted...
