I find that rather confusing too -- I'm used to the filenames, so the menus
in Shuck are difficult to use.  How about rewriting the menus so they look
like this?

perlre (Regular Expressions)
perldata (Data Types)
perlop (Operators and Precedence)

That way, the menus include the original documentation names that people
may be used to, and that all the other documentation refers too, but also
includes a brief description for people who find the names too cryptic.
