"man page" is an abbreviation of "manual page".

They are usually (besides info pages etc.) part of installed software in *NIX
environments. Not available on Windoze (I heard it must be especially
userfriendly, so I think it's not necessary to have man pages ;-)

It has not to be seperately installed.

Nowhere, it's not a perl module.

1. Having *UNIX
2. login
3. $ man cron
(or: man 8 cron)
