in thread The sad state of Perl documentation

if you're really so worried about the "poor newbies", then undertake this task yourself. don't wait for "the leaders" of the "Perl community" to do it for you. you don't even have to write a script. you can just use the one i wrote, or take merlyn's suggestion and use pod2pdf or its underlying module Pod::Pdf.

then, find space on a web server somewhere and keep available an up-to-date version of your compiled documentation. i haven't missed any points. you have in assuming that someone else should be creating this documentation that you want. more power to whomever should decide that printable documentation is important enough to themselves and other users of Perl to implement and maintain a resource such as this.
