How to access sub-pages of a man page

Question

If I type

man perl

on the command line, I get the man page for perl, which lists all of the sections into which the perl man pages have been split. How do I access one of these sections? For instance, the first section is perlintro, but if I type

man perlintro

I get an error saying there is no such manual entry. How do I access these parts of the manual?

Thanks!

Answer 1

That means that some of those man pages are missing. You should re-install the package that contains them. Since you didn't say what OS or distribution, I can't give any further guidance.

man perlinfo

works for me.

Edit:

Try:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install perl-doc
