No, I disagree in this generality. But it depends what the goal is.

I'm not sure if Knuth had the possibilities to use modules as alternatives back then. And he didn't know the necessities of CPAN (though CTAN was the source)

Personally I like having some docs* close to code.

That's why I once realized a solution to parse docs from sub modules to generate a .pod file.

Not sure what LP can offer more here or if this even helps realizing it's main goal.

*) there are many different types of documenation, which need to be separated in this discussion here.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
