perldoc.perl.org
http://perldoc.perl.org (previously http://perldoc.perldrunks.org) is the result of a project to produce a version of the Perl documentation set suitable for off-line use. It was originally designed for inclusion on a CD-ROM (together with the Perl source code and a mirror of CPAN) to be given to conference attendees as part of Birmingam Perl Mongers' bid to host the YAPC Europe conference in 2006. The site can be browsed at http://perldoc.perl.org, or the complete archive downloaded from http://perldoc.perl.org/perldoc.tar.gz (~15M file). Current features- Complete Perl documentation included in HTML format for browsing, and PDF format for printing
- Syntax highlighting of code examples, with links to Perl function names and core modules (HTML version only)
- Improved layout, with the documentation pages separated into logical sections
- Customisable display - the toolbar and navigation bar may be hidden to improve readability on smaller (e.g. laptop) screens
- Page labelling - any document on the site may be 'labelled', which creates a dynamic link in the toolbar allowing frequently used pages to be accessed with one click from anywhere in the site.
- Client-side search engine
- Easier linking, e.g. http://perldoc.perldrunks.org/split should redirect to http://perldoc.perldrunks.org/functions/split.html
- Update notifications for users who have downloaded a local copy of the documentation
Please send comments, feature requests, and bug reports to jj@jonallen.info. Credits
Many thanks to everyone who has sent in bug reports suggestions, and other feedback - please continue! - and especially to Ask and perl.org for providing hosting.
