in reply to [emacs] perl info file

M-x cperldoc-mode Then enter the keyword you are using, best kept in a separate buffer or of course you could use perldoc on the command-line. Update LanX below is correct, (a while since I used emacs...vi...editor v's OS...flame war)

M-x cperl-perldoc was what I meant and perl-perldoc-at-point was what you meant

    There is no cperldoc-mode in the web, did you mean perldoc.el ?

    Or do you mean:  cperl-perldoc or cperl-perldoc-at-point¹ ?

    (I occasionally use  M-x woman)

    I suppose the benefit from info-files comes from better highlighting, being able to navigate with hyperlinks and using a search over all documents, I'm afraid cperl-perldoc can't do this.

    Cheers Rolf

    UPDATES/FOOTNOTES:

    (1) They work fine, but like always the keybindings are ridiculously long C-c C-h p or C-c C-h P, thankfully they can be redefined...

    > perl-perldoc-at-point was what you meant

    No, cperl-info-on-command and  cperl-info-on-current-command was what I meant. 8)

    and cperl-perldoc-at-point was what you meant! ;-)
