artist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks
Alternative ways may be easily possible, but is there any way I can configure PPM to see perldoc within it?, Often in my search, I see some package, which may be useful to my project, like to read perldoc and remove the package if not necessary.

Note: (Alternative way) I can have my browser window open, for C:\perl\html\index.html , find the module and read the documentation

Thanks,
artist

      I'm just gonna have to upvote that node of yours :)

      Quickstart: one way you could work with Perl Oasis is that you load the script/module file in Oasis and it lists all used (and inherited) modules. Double click on a module name and Oasis will open it and display the POD for that module.

      Using UltraEdit, gVim PFE or EditPlus makes it even easier, because Oasis can determine the current file and you can click a toolbar to load it into Oasis.

      That, or you can just type "perldoc Module::Name" in a DOS window, that works fine most of the time as well :)
