perldocs in emacs

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

Anyone know a way to review the perldocs in emacs? I like what we can get/see with "perldoc perlsyn" for example, but if I could call up perl docs within emacs, I could then edit the text with my own notes and save them to external files, and/or print them with my own formatting, etc.

I read all the perl docs with M-x man. Just need to set your MANPATH to include the automatically installed manpages. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

If you're using CPERL mode then you should get a Perl menu added which will have a 'Perl Docs' submenu. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]
