First, I very much dislike the new perdoc.perl.org design
- It's full of eye-candy and wasted screen space.
- It has a deep navigation hierarchy: you have to click and click and click to get where you're going.
perldoc.pl suits me much better
- It's text-only.
- It's big and flat. I can get the whole thing at once and scroll to find what I need.
Couple of things on perldoc.pl
- The code boxes are low-contrast and hard to read on my screen. Not sure why this is. The font is very lightweight; maybe needs to be heavier.
- The code boxes render in courier. Courier was designed for typewriters. For better readability, consider using a modern fixed-width font that was designed for screens. (Or just specify "fixed" and let the browser choose.)
- I need the row of index letters at the top of the perlfunc page that jump to the functions that start with that letter. I know they aren't in the POD, but scrolling through a page that big is awkward.
