"perldoc -f foo" will print information about the perl operator "foo". +One common mistake when using this port with a GUI library like C<Tk> +is assuming that Perl's normal behavior of opening a command-line +window will go away. This isn't the case. If you want to start a copy +of C<perl> without opening a command-line window, use the C<wperl> +executable built during the installation process.
