Author Question on configuring Help
Bob Nix

2005-03-25, 8:55 pm

I have installed Perl on a PC running Win2000.
The make, test, and install all ran without problem.

I saw references to html-based help. How do I install Perl html help?

Thanks,

Did you install Activestate perl or compile your own?
The Activestate default installation places html docs in
the C:\Perl\html directory.


file:///c:/Perl/html/perltoc.html

My c:\perl\html directory contains more directories - \ext, \lib, and \pod
but no files


I compiled my own; did not use Activestate.

Assuming you installed the latest stable Perl (5.8.6), you can
download HTML+PDF documentation from this site:
http://perldoc.perl.org/
(See the bottom of the page).

Hope this helps,
