Hi, You have seen the documentation I produce for P5EEx::Blue http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/software/htdocs/api/ package using the "perldocs" utility http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/software/sbin/perldocs http://cvs.perl.org/cvsweb/p5ee/P5EEx/Blue/sbin/perldocs.PL which is not at all finished or cleanly coded (but the output looks nice). My intent (when I get back around to it) is to write a more general- purpose version of perldocs which creates this kind of documentation for whatever you have installed on your system (i.e. from CPAN or wherever). Its approach will be * extract from the source files what information you can, and * allow special comment tags to supplement and/or override this So you will get an inheritance tree which spans CPAN packages, for instance. However, as always, don't wait for me. I'm working on other stuff in P5EE now (the persistence system mainly). Stephen
