Navigating C++ 3104

It does. You are confused by language.

% man -k perl Bundle::LWP (3pm) - A bundle to install all libwww-perl related modules Digest::MD2 (3pm) - Perl interface to the MD2 Algorithm Digest::MD5 (3pm) - Perl interface to the MD5 Algorithm Digest::SHA1 (3pm) - Perl interface to the SHA-1 Algorithm ...

perlhist (1p) - the Perl history records perlipc (1p) - Perl interprocess communication (signals, fifos, pipes, safe subprocesses, sockets, and semaphores) perllocale (1p) - Perl locale handling (internationalization and localization) perlmod (1p) - Perl modules (packages and symbol tables) perlmodinstall (1p) - Installing CPAN Modules ..

And I have removed most of the perl gunk that gets installed in the man sections. Without reading it, I may add.

But if, as you maintain, perl does not have man pages for perl "functions", then why do you think C++ does?

I remind you that your exposed reasoning is reasoning by false generalization from a small sample, so if you don't even have a sample that exhibits the trait, why would you believe it universal, a priori?

Puzzzzzzzzllllllling :0.

That man page is for internal perl operators, not functions, in the C or C++ sense of the word (or Pascal sense, for all I know!).

The functions in this section can serve as terms in an expression. They fall into two major categories: list operators and named unary operators.
