If you are using Windows and an ActiveState Perl install then you can read the docs by pointing your browser at file:///C:/Perl/html/index.html (the path will be different if you installed to somewhere other than the default location).

Even better, just go to your start menu and look for ActiveState, then you can drill down and find a link to the entire documentation set, including all the module docs. But to be perfectly honest, that is not the place to start! Get yourself a copy of "Learning Perl", currently in its 4th edition and read, mark and inwardly digest the contents thereof. jdtoronto	[reply]

Even if I use the CLI version also under Windows, if he finds himself consulting the HTML version of the docs quite often, then a link on the desktop (mine is almost empty) or on the personal toolbar may result to be even easier points of access to it. Just an idea...	[reply]
