Re: Request for Feedback: Perl Documentation Site

in reply to Request for Feedback: Perl Documentation Site

What is missing or can be improved?

Why would someone decide to downgrade the official perldocs at perldoc.perl.org by eliminating the PDF? It makes no sense. They should adding features, not taking them away.

I actually had no idea that existed (apparently everyone else has also forgotten). Is this simply a PDF version of each page? It would be a reasonably doable feature to add to perldoc.pl. -Grinnz	[reply]

FWIW I still prefer perldoc.pl to the official online docs, it works well on my small screen netbook.	[reply]

Is this simply a PDF version of each page? Yes, every page had a PDF link, such as this: https://web.archive.org/web/20150906224303/https://perldoc.perl.org/corelist.pdf I handle it locally with pod2pdf. Thank you for your good work .	[reply]
