[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The attached patch calls perldoc with -i, so it is case insensitive. This
is more convenient (the user doesn't have to get the case right), and works
like "man". I find this particularly useful for perl, as many modules and
functions have mixed case in their names.

Thanks, for this simple patch I think I can take that as a positive review,
so I've pushed it.
