in thread HTML Help File for Perl?

If he were going to go that route, he could just use pod2html directly. However, that would translate individual pieces of documentation and is overall probably not what he wants. (And, if that is what he wants, most of the individual pieces of documentation are already available on search.cpan.org and/or perldoc.com anyhow.) He's probably looking for the HTML documentation that comes with ActiveState, as the other poster suggested. ActiveState's documentation may include material from the standard documentation, but it's been arranged differently and IIRC uses a frameset to keep a Table of Contents on the side, and some things like that.

Sanity? Oh, yeah, I've got all kinds of sanity. In fact, I've developed whole new kinds of sanity. Why, I've got so much sanity it's driving me crazy.

    Agreed - individual pieces of documentation are probably not what the OP wants. Indeed, the OP specifically asked for an "HTML Help file", which I interpreted to mean as being in the MS HTML Help Workshop "compiled help" format, or a single cross-linked *.chm file.

    To that end, I have dug up a few promising-looking links which may enable the OP to go from the complete zipped HTML docs here, say, to CHM:


    Web 2 CHM
    Html2Hhc

    HTH,
