faqpods: print out pod paths for the standard perl faqs

NAME

faqpods - print out pod paths for the standard perl faqs

DESCRIPTION

This program uses your configuration's "installprivlib" directory to look up the full paths to those pod pages. Any files in that directory whose names start in "perlfaq" will be printed to the standard output, one per line. This is normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames for other commands.

EXAMPLES

    $ podgrep typeglob `faqpods`
    ....

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

    $ podgrep -i thread `filsperl faqpods`
    ....
