FYL - From the "There's more that 1 way..." dept... I renamed the perldoc.tar.tar to perldoc.tgz (based on some previous perl surfing)& WinZip 8.0 opened it & found 1 file inside "perldoc.tar", I extracted it to a \perl_dev\doc folder & then Winzip extracted the 1,213 html/pdf/css/gif/js files. Drug a shortcut to my tool bar & I am good to go...home. Thanks, -Bill.
