`pod2html /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/CGI.pm > /tmp/pod.html; konqueror /tmp/pod.html` Shouldn't be too hard to make a perl script to automatically do that. Update: This does the job: Display Pod in your web browser Why isn't this a perldoc switch I wonder? ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply] [d/l]

If you have Tk installed you can use tkpod to view pod nicely with styles etc.	[reply]

When I last used the Win32::GUI module the distro included a graphical POD viewer. Generally, I use pod2html or the "View man page of POD" option in emacs' CPerl mode. -- John.	[reply]

Howdy! I mostly use nedit for my IDE on the Solaris boxes I use. Since I can execute an arbitrary command and insert the output into the current document, I just open a blank document and run 'perldoc -t ...'. yours, Michael	[reply]

For Windows there is Perl Oasis: http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Oasis/ Blurb: Perl Oasis is a code navigator; a POD/source/class browser tightly integrated with (currently) UltraEdit (optional, but nice-to-have). It makes it easy to navigate source code, POD, modules and your files. It is a Win32::GUI application. Disclosure: I'm the author. /J	[reply]
