in reply to is there a man equivalent for perl that's searchable?

You could use http://search.cpan.org/ for modules, also read http://perldoc.perl.org, checking out perldoc which explains how to search module documentation.

    Greetings marto, and thank you for your reply.
    Yes, I'm aware of all of them, and searched them. But it doesn't provide the results I was looking/hoping for. I had hoped to discover a searchable www based index like the FreeBSD MAN pages. What's nice about this, it that I created an xml file for firefox. So I am able to search the man pages as though it was a search engine like yahoo!, or google.


    Thanks again.
