I often build a
ppm file of downloaded modules so that I can install the docs in the right place and so that the local
ppm log is kept up to date. However, if you only wish to install the docs then your solution above is probably better.
I use the scipt that is included in Jan (Jenda) Krynicky's
How2 - create a PPM distribution. I also use this for modules that I upload to CPAN so that they can be installed via
ppm.
