but what is the next step to actually be able to browse the documentation? Start here: http://perldoc.perl.org/ If you don't want to browse online there are links at the bottom of that page for downloading the full set in either html form or PDF. an alternate way to get it is to go into System -> Yast (Control Center) -> Software Management
enter a Search arg of perl, then scroll and scroll and scroll until you get to perl-doc -- it will be for the same version of perl you have, and if you watch the install you should be able to find where it goes
hth Hi Mr pik,
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. Is there a program that provides an index to it all, and lets me just select the packages whose documentation I want to review, and that without losing the index (or an easy way to get back to it). Multiple windows showing different parts of the docs would be quite useful, because I often need to look at how two or more modules can be used together. With HTML docs, I do that with Firefox, but Firefox tends to become a memory hog when you have a lot of pages open.
