However, I personally don't feel like it's a good replacement for the ActiveState web-based documentation that the OP was "spoilt" with using.

But you don't explain why

The ActiveState documentation includes other perldoc information like the FAQs, perlfunc, pragmas, etc.

So does HTMLBatch. No, it can't include ActiveState copyrighted material , but it does includes all the regular perl faqs etc

The module that I had suggested, Pod::POM::Web, includes all of those things that Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch does seem to cover. Also, Pod::POM::Web has a better interface and layout in my opinion.

:) I like Pod::POM::Web too, esp since I dont have disk space for html docs -- but I'm "way over" the frameset layout

FWIW, if you're on unix, http://perl.overmeer.net/ oodoc looks polished

In the same frame theme as oodoc there is also pdoc, used by http://doc.bioperl.org/
