I'm after a pod (perl documention) viewer for use on my home system so I can hunt around the documentation for perl modules while I'm writing perl.
I'm after something a bit better than 'man' to make it easier to hunt around in the documentation as, now I'm getting a bit more seriously into perl programming, 'man'gets a bit clumsy especially with big chunks of pod.

A rather unhelpful response, I'm afraid: I used to point my web browser at http://www.perldoc.com/ for this purpose, but the site has been down ever since you asked this question.
Anyone got any better ideas?
