You can do it urself
Just put it in your .cshrc or .profile depending on your shell
the following
csh
setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:<dir>
where <dir> is the directory where ur man pages for perl are
/usr/share/man ---- If you want to man other programs --- Now that is important -- Or i am not to blame for the consequences Smilie

sh
set MANPATH=/usr/share/man:<dir>
export MANPATH
