That one can't be saying the above, just look inside:

 % cat /usr/bin/perldoc
 #!/bin/sh
 # place-holder, diverted by perl-doc
 echo You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program. >&2
 exit 1

There seems to be another perldoc in your $PATH, maybe in /usr/local/bin ?
('which perldoc' should show which one you're using.)
