NAME
     pfgrep - grep out function definitions from perlfunc

DESCRIPTION
     This program uses podgrep program to search your
     configuration's perlfunc for function definitions.  It
     honors a -f flag to format through pod2text and a -p flag to
     send the output through the pager.  (Actually, it just
     passes these to podgrep.)

EXAMPLES
         $ pfcat seek
         (find all seek functions (including sysseek))

         $ pfcat -pf sprintf
         (sprintf function is formated and sent to pager)

         $ pfcat -f '\bint\b'
         /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perlfunc.pod chunk 506
         int EXPR
         int

         Returns the integer portion of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, uses
         `$_'. You should not use this for rounding, because it truncates
         towards `0', and because machine representations of floating point
         numbers can sometimes produce counterintuitive results. Usually
         `sprintf()' or `printf()', or the `POSIX::floor' or `POSIX::ceil'
         functions, would serve you better.

     You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like
     so:

         $ oldperl -S pfcat open
         ....
