For this user:	Search nodes

Using Perl since about 1996
Written several modules
The first public was Mail::Sender - it was written too early and thus is poorly designed (not that the newer are any better). It caught up anyway :-P
Using mainly Windoze (noone hates Windoze more than the people who use them)
Like to show off ... erm ... help beginners
Love to dance (nope dudes, no hip pop, no punk, no pogo - tango argentino, standard ballroom and latinoamerican dances, swing, salsa)

If you're using Windows and find the default perldoc display suboptimal you may try this doskey macro

pdoc=perldoc -o html -T -w index $* > %TEMP%\perldoc_temp.html && star
+t %TEMP%\perldoc_temp.html
[download]

If you then use pdoc Module::Name instead of perldoc Module::Name you get the docs formatted as HTML in a browser window. It's best to store the macro(s) in a file and start the Command Prompt via a shortcut like this: %windir%\System32\cmd.exe /F:ON /k doskey /macrofile="%USERPROFILE%\doskey.mac"
