Or more accurately;
I've recently made the decision to dump/replace PHP for/with Perl. Mind you I began life with perl shortly after it's incarnation. Managed all our servers with perl, all the web services, and pages were manages/written by/with perl. Over the years I became tempted to try PHP, and finally succumed(sp). Rewrote nearly all my projects, with the exception of 2 large ones, which I simply wrapped in PHP. Well, INMHO PHP is going everywhere but where it should, and I never had any issues with perl. So the prodigal son returns home. :)

To the point!
In staging for this return to perl, I've chosen a couple of templating engines, and all told; have ~1032 modules. Now, I'd like to become familiar with them, so I'll need to RTFM. Which in perl-speak == peardoc. Perldoc is nice, but it would be even nicer if I could search the perl man pages - something like FreeBSD's web based searchable man pages:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
Is there already an equivalent for perl and it's modules? Or will I be required to cobble it up myself? I searched perldoc.perl.org, and everywhere else I could think (including here). But no joy.

Thank you for all your time and consideration.
