Cperl/perl info problem

Cperl/perl info problem

[Mike Ballard]

When Cperl pkg replaced perl-mode (a long time ago) I had to make a change
to something to get C-h C-i to work for Cperl.  Somehow I've lost that fix
and am having the same problem again:

Processing Info node `(perl)Function Index'...
unzipping perl.info.gz...done
unzipping perl.info-17.gz...done
Processing Info node `(perl)Function Index'...done
Processing Info node `(perl)Variable Index'...
Cannot access Info node `(perl)Variable Index'

How can I get C-h C-i to work w/Cperl?

I use C-c C-h f for this.  It requires a special info file, though.

And then you can call "perldoc -f" with the following little hack:

  (defun perldoc (man-args)
    (interactive "sPerldoc: ")
    (require 'man)
    (let ((manual-program "perldoc"))
      (man man-args)))

Hm.  But it ought to be sufficient to frob info-lookup-alist; it
mentions perl5 as info file, and on my system it's named perl.
