How does it compare to piping to less as this?: $ info libc | less; BTW, to someone who doesn't know perl, how do I install the File::Which module? $ ./informan libc; Can't locate File/Which.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::Which module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.40.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.40 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40 /usr/share/perl/5.40 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ./informan line 20.
