NAME

       pmfunc - cat out a function from a module

DESCRIPTION

       Given a fully-qualified function, this program opens up the file and attempts to cat out the source for that function.

EXAMPLES

	   $ pmfunc Cwd::getcwd
	   sub getcwd
	   {
	       abs_path('.');
	   }

RESTRICTIONS

       Only subroutines that are defined in the normal fashion are seen, since a simple pattern-match is what does the extraction.  Those loaded
       other ways, such as via AUTOLOAD, typeglob aliasing, or in an "eval", will all necessarily be missed.

       This is mostly here for people who are too lazy to type

	   sed '/^sub getcwd/,/}/p' `pmpath Cwd`
       or
	   perl -ne 'print if /^subs+getcwd/ .. /}/' `pmpath Cwd`
