Re^2: workaround to fix perldoc -- emacs

Thanks, it's activestate in my case and I came up with an alias too

doskey perldoc=perldoc -T $* ^| more

But I'm still not a fan of more , missing all the options less offers.

Now trying to create an texinfo output and render the output in emacs as pager

emacs has a built-in man renderer called "woman".

The following elisp function renders the pod as man and displays it (with meta informations) inside emacs. Tested on windows.

This is far from perfect and meant as a start (release often ... yadda).

The PDE project seems to have more elaborated code, not sure how it blends into cperl-modes code.

 
(defun perldoc-woman (target)
     "perldoc displayed via woman"
   (interactive)
   (let* (
         (buffer-name (concat "*perldoc-" target "*"))
         (perl-cmd
               (concat "perl C:/Perl_524/bin/perldoc -MPod::Man " targ
+et))
         )

     (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create buffer-name))
     (erase-buffer)
     (shell-command perl-cmd 1)
     (woman-process-buffer)

     (list buffer-name perl-cmd) ;dbg
     )
   )
