Someone said there was no way to access perldoc and posted one, saying it was "ugly but works". If we already have a good facility to access perldoc, maybe we don't need another. I don't know Perl myself and I am not sure whether we already have a good facility for this. Can you tell me if we do? See http://GNUSoftware.com/Emacs/Lisp/perldoc.el If there is a cleaner Emacs Lisp program for this, but it is not in Emacs, we might want to install it IF we can get papers for it. Do people think that is clean? Would someone like to contact its author? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
