Into a command prompt type: `perldoc perldoc` [download] and you will learn how to get documentation of Perl things installed on your system. Not to be underestimated is that you get documented the version that you actually have installed. And if you become competent (which is mainly a question of learning to use "/pattern" then "n") at finding stuff in those pages you will generally find it faster to find things in that documentation than through websites.

Note that you actually need perldoc installed to use the perldoc command. Unfortunately, some Linux distributions (like Mandrake) don't come with perldoc installed by default. (Note: I followed the random node link. You probably already have perl doc installed) Want to support the EFF and FSF buy buying cool stuff? Click here.	[reply]

davorg wrote a good series of articles in Perl Month explaining how to get documentation using the command `perldoc`. They start in Issue #1	[reply]

You can find the lwpcook documentation on perldoc.com by typing lwpcook into the search box. lwpcook is an LWP CookBook; it contains "recipes" for common tasks involving LWP that you can use in own code. On your own system, since you have LWP installed, you should be able to read the lwpcook documentation by typing `perldoc lwpcook` on the command line.	[reply] [d/l]
