# pmcat(1p)

page through a module file

## NAME

pmcat - page through a module file

## DESCRIPTION

Given a module name, figure out the path name and send that to the user's pager.

```
    $ pmcat CGI
```

This works also on alternate installed versions of Perl:

```
    $ oldperl -S pmcat strict
    $ filsperl -S pmcat Threads
```

This command is mostly here for people too lazy to type

```
    $ more `pmpath CGI`
```
