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. -- Chris Green (chris@areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."

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? -- Dan Hatton <http://www.bib.hatton.btinternet.co.uk/dan/>
