That's fine. Different people have different work-styles and priorities. Opening IE just to view a file of this sort, instead of looking at it in my always-running text editor where I am doing all my other work, is preferable to me. If a person was not running a machine with lavish resources, too, they might prefer to avoid firing up yet another hoggish Windows application just to look at a simple list of what's been installed to their Perl?
