in thread How perldoc chooses PODs' path

I honestly can’t think of any reason (apart from being trapped on Windows, I suppose) why anyone would use anything but the normal man program for reading Perl documentation.

And I honestly cannot think of any reason (apart from the living nightmare of Life on Mars ) why anyone would use man. Or perldoc. Or POD for that matter.

Hey. Perhaps there is a market for a new website: say, TWinders.com. It'd be like Twitter, but use smoke signals for the last mile. For all those ol'fogies out there than can't bring themselves to move beyond the golden days of their youth.


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
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.

The start of some sanity?
