I have been using various ActivateState dists since 5.6.0 and was never missing any PODs. Also, ActivateState includes HTML version of all the core and module PODs. They are normally stores in <DRIVE>:\Perl. It is possible that the who ever installed it ellected not to install the docs. At worst case, you can use perldoc.com.

Like TedYoung I also have been an ActiveState user for a long time, I just checked the current AS installations I have and all of them, 5.8.1, 5.8.3, 5.8.4 all have perl.pod which is also available as perl.html. It does sound like somebody did something a little unusual during the install. jdtoronto	[reply]

I should clarify that this is ActivePerl for Solaris (I noticed that several respondents specified they were using it on Windows). I've been poking around the ActiveState website, and it looks like they may actually not provide POD for the core manpages, instead only offering HTML. But I am still looking to confirm this. Thanks for all the responses so far!	[reply]

Activestate do provide POD for the core manpages You should look into directory for example : APerl15-8-6(variable)/lib/5.8.6(version-variable)/pod	[reply]

I have `This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread` [download] from ActiveState. I have almost 200 *.pod files.	[reply] [d/l]
