Thanks, that does help. it appears to all be in /usr/lib/perl/pod. But that begs the question, how do I view it all. To get the documentation of any module type perldoc (command) in a shell. Thanks. perldoc seems to be a perl equivalent of man. It is serviceable. It isn't ideal as there is no index that can be used to load the documentation for one of the installed modules.
There isn't a index of the man pages either, you have to build it. Its done every night -- it used to be done by mkwhatis, but we're in the 21st century now. Take a look in /etc/cron.daily/suse-do_mandb If you add another location you'll have to add it to /etc/manpath.config and either have it recognise .pod and do the conversion on the fly so man(1) and view it, or batch convert the .pod files. I'd go for the latter. Oh, and add the location of all that to appropriate places in /etc/manpath.config so that they get included in the index. That way its all covered by the MAN command and you don't have to worry if some things are dealt by perlpod and some by man -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
