Re: Perl Documentation, again. :(

Today I tried pdoc. The documentation is basically "It's great. Type make, then make install, then make test!".
That's it for the readme. ...Certainly sounds lovely doesn't it?...

What readme? The module doesn't come with a readme. Yes on the download page the standard Makefile.PL instructions are given, but if you've gotten that far, why didn't you look through the rest of the website?

You should contact the author and ask him to add a readme to the distribution (the tarball).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Pardon, the makefile instructions. And (as you've so delicately told me ;) ) I did RTFM on the rest of the website. Their documentation page is down, and the downloadable docs are an abysmal selection of informational tidbits generated by their own software. I can't beleive this is this difficult. :\	[reply]
