facility makes the perldocs in a command prompt window not
nearly as useful, so I prefer to go to the perldocs website. Is there
something I could do on Windoze XP to make the perldocs searchable??
Thanks.

Thanks Jeff - didn't know about that, but the Active State documentation

AFAIK, anything you install with Activestate ppm will add its docs to
the HTMLized help. If you install with CPAN or manually, the docs won't
get added.
Oh, and I forgot another nice trick. I have a local CGI that, given the
name of a module, searches the @INC and does an on-the-fly pod2html on
the pod. That gives me HTML access to docs for all installed modules
regardless of whether they're in the ActiveState tree or not.

I see folder C:\Perl\html\site\lib\DBI, but no html files in there -
just these 4 empty directories:
C:\Perl\html\site\lib\DBI\Const
C:\Perl\html\site\lib\DBI\Const\GetInfo
C:\Perl\html\site\lib\DBI\DBD
C:\Perl\html\site\lib\DBI\ProfileDumper
Can anyone else shed more light on how
Thanks Jeff. That explains why I don't see DBI show up in the Active
State documentation - I wasn't able to get PPM to through our firewall
and/or proxy, so I resorted to downloading the package and installing it
manually.
