Re^2: [perldoc] keyword search

Thanx, but grepping fulltext thru all pods wasn't really my intention...

Anyway in bash it could be done as a one-liner

# ALL OCCURENCES
> grep -l 'qr//' /usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/*.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perl5005delta.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perl561delta.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perl56delta.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlfaq6.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlfaq7.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlfunc.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlglossary.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlguts.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlop.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlreapi.pod
/usr/share/perl/5.10/pod/perlreguts.pod

# JUST THE X TAGS WITH qr

# AUTOMATICALLY OPENING THE SEARCHRESULTS IN PERLDOC

You can even tell the pager to search within the file for the pattern... 8)
