Ok, but for those of us wanting to look at the docs for past or newer versions than we currently have installed, that doesn't help.

But, I'm glad to know this isn't a conspiracy or some odd problem only affecting me.

So, why do so many posts that refer to various documents, still insist on pointing to a non-working web site? (example) I've seen various examples that point to specific entries for specific versions, so I'm thinking SOME people still have access...

Update before creation: I did notice in the "writeup guide" I had to reference to get the ID link to work correctly that it is easy to create doc links by doing perldoc)://(search terms | function name), so that explains part of it.
</update>

Thanks for the reply

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
