in reply to Got Perldocs?

Some outdated perl documentation is on this site too, although it's only the core pods, not those of the core modules. Go to the Library.

    Should we keep the perlmonks perldocs up to date? As much as I mostly use perldoc from the command line, it's hard to point people to command line perldoc's in web posts/emails etc.

    Ideally the system generating the html could insert appropriate anchors so that links could jump into deep parts of long perldocs.

    Update: I see from randyk's comment that the core perldocs are accessible on search.cpan which I did not know. That means we can at least link to a cpan search for perlfaq for example using the perlmonks shortcut, or straight to perlfaq.pod with an embedded link.

    I still suspect that a perlmonks local perldocs could be a good thing - especially if you could do stuff like list at the bottom all nodes that reference that perldoc.
