I always look up pretty much anything Javascript. Mostly to find the MDN and CanIUse entries to determine browser support and maybe read a StackOverflow post or two on the topic. With browsers constantly changing usually for the better (but not always), it's kind of pointless to try to remember what browser version supports what function or event or feature.
For PHP, I just go to php.net but I inevitably need to search for the date() function 80% of the time I visit php.net. Do I need "F j, Y" or "M j, Y"?
Any time I have to use Perl, I end up having to relearn the entire language from the ground-up. Most languages I can remember enough of to fumble my way around and eventually find my way again - kind of like learning to ride a bicycle. With Perl, it's beginners-ville every single time.

Maybe with Perl it is, because there is always one more way to do it?
