in reply to Man Pages

You could look at the OpenBSD man pages. Do keep in mind, though, that there are differences between tool implementations between Unix platforms. This should give you a general sense, though.

There are also some Version 7 man pages in the Perl Power Tools pages.

Or did you mean the Perl docs... in which case, follow chromatic's suggestion.

    I mean man pages. I was reading a description of all of the functions in Perl and for many of the functions it just said that they followed a certain *nix system call. So I had no way of figuring out what they did.

      I checked out the OpenBSD doc page and it was great. One of the options in the search is to search only system calls. That should do it for you. You can also restrict your search to a certain platform and version of *BSD.
