Is that true? Where can i download these info files? As far as i know, a little google search or official doc sites usually don't have a download for info format. I'm interested in getting current version doc for perl, python, php, and ruby. On Ubuntu GNU/Linux: sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install perl-doc php-doc python2.5-doc rdoc Certainly perldoc is available at CTAN, the latest sources for python info docs are in the tarball, http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.2/Python-2.6.2.tgz and so on.
