Re: perldoc won't open

I don't know anything about that tar ball (though I've had some issues with tar.gz and winzip - you may want to try true tar and gzip versions for windows), but since you're on windows, you could probably download and take home the installer for activestate perl. Besides a fully functioning core perl install, it also includes all of the perldoc manpages in HTML. And it's a free download.

I've just looked it up, and the perldoc.tar.gz from here contains indeed the same documentation as the docs from activestate - basically, it contains all the pod documentation included in the base perl install. Activestate's docs will include a bit more, since activestate includes a few additional (probably windows only) modules.
