Dear monks,

Since I need to install a lot of Activestate-Perl-Modules by PPM, I am just writing a little setup script which works fine. Just one problem: it is by far too slow, since I install perl and a lot of modules on a network filesystem. Building html requires lots of time. I searched perlmonks and even google for an answer, but still haven't found what I've been looking for.

Q:\downloads\ppm-modules>ppm install Win32-Env-0.03.ppmx
Unpacking Win32-Env-0.03...done
Generating HTML for Win32-Env-0.03...done
Updating files in site area...done
2 files installed

Generating HTML takes up to 5 minutes per module.

Do you know a way to prevent generation of HTML documentation after installation of each single module with ppm install modulename.ppdx ?

I can create the documentation at the end with something like perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e "UpdateHTML('wait')"

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"

In reply to ppm install without creating HTML documentation? by strat

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
