Re^2: An alternative Perldoc site

The reason why I am glad about them, is so that I can use it as something to point people to. Perlmonks is a web-based medium, you can't just say "use perldoc blah to read the docs", I prefer real web links pointing directly into the docs you are currently talking about. The finer I can pinpoint the relevant section, the better, for example, I wish Quote and Quote-like Operators in perlop had subanchors, as for now, it's a bit of a largish block.

It's also nice to have something to point to, in e-mail for example, to people who normally aren't Perl users, and thus, don't have perl installed.

you can't just say "use perldoc blah to read the docs" Sure you can. I say it all the time here. I expect Perl users to be adult enough to translate that instruction into whatever's appropiate on their box. -- Randal L.
