Carlos Ramirez announced www.perldoc.com,
a central location for all Perl-related documentation (manpages, core modules
and utilities, and CPAN modules). The current
release offers a complete searchable Perl 5.6 Documentation in HTML
format, and plans are to have all the CPAN docs available this weekend.
Simple URLs like http://www.perldoc.com/f?map
can be used to create links to the docs.
Michael Stevens had trouble finding the
perl 1.0 source, so he went through and tracked down perl versions 1 through 4.036
and put them up at http://www.etla.org/retroperl/.
"I'd love any versions I'm missing before 5.0, and news
of successful builds - I got perl 1.0 running on a openbsd 2.5 machine,
with a bit of fiddling, although it does core dump rather more than I might
like," he writes.
