) This thread is about local POD, so no CSS, no JS, no speed problems, no images

Hm.

  1. No CSS: 
    <html>
<!-- saved from url=(0017)http://localhost/ -->
<head>
  <title>ActivePerl User Guide</title>
  <meta name="Author" content="ActiveState">
  <meta name="AppleTitle" content="ActivePerl 5.10.1.1007 Help">
  <script language="JavaScript" src="tocTab.js"></script>
  <script language="JavaScript" src="tocParas.js"></script>
  <script language="JavaScript" src="displayToc.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Active.css">

    [download]

    And very useful it is too. To be able to tailor *all* the POD on my set up to my preferences--fonts; sizes; colors--with simple changes in *one* place.

  2. No JS:

    Wouldn' t it be nice to be able to (say) double-click (or Ctrl-Alt-Meta-Meta-f) a function/method name in the POD and be taken directly to the module source for that function/method?

  3. No images:

    And no amount of words will ever be a substitute for a few simple pictures.

I guess the only lesson here is that you hate my way of working as much as I hate yours.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Nonsense, I always said TIMTOWTDI, but what I certainly dislike are dogmatic approaches and polemical tricks to defend them...

    ...so - as usual - lets better plonk this conversation. :)

      What makes your descriptions of your way of working useful information to disseminate; and mine "dogmatic or polemic tricks"?

      The perceptions of the reader perhaps?
