This was so till Sep 12th, 2022 only.  After that perl man pages were
moved to the 3perl section, including the Symbol man page.  Please see
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/9203

Now you can still find some perl man pages in section 3 (if such a
package was not rebuilt after Sep 12th) or section 3perl (if it was
rebuilt).

If you see the Symbol man page in section 3, then simply update your
runtime/perl-534 and/or runtime/perl-536 packages.

Please update.  Currently the directory contains 2k+ man pages (while
section 3 still contains ca 850 perl man pages).


HTH.
