[gentoo-user] OT - Where is perlfunc?

[Michael Sullivan]

My perl book, "Sams Teach Yourself Perl In 21 Days" says that I should
have a utility called "perlfunc" as part of my perl package.  I went to
use it last night and couldn't seem to find it.  Does it still exist?
Do I need to remerge perl with different USE flags?  Here are my current
USE flags for perl:

bullet ~ # emerge -pv perl

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Check your book again - last time I checked, perlfunc isn't a utility, it's a 
section of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide that covers the builtin 
functions of Perl.  You can browse it with "man perlfunc".  Maybe that's what 
they mean.
