hi,

Is there a good way to search Perl documentation on Windoz? I use the Active State HTML files locally, but there is no search feature that I could find. The Active State online ASPN search finds stuff, but the links are many times broken. I have tried the online O'Reilly CD bookshelf (mastering Tk) search, but its links are broken. The Pod does not seem to have a search. I read somewhere about a windows help file for perl. Does it have a good search and how do you get it or make it?

What do you suggest for searching Perl documentation? I am working a lot with Tk right now chasing down events and it is slow going.

Thanks. -Eugene

================================================

Thanks for all the good suggestions. I will be exploring many of them. -Eugene
