The outcome is that poddoc can be Pod6 pure and perldoc can be (as its
name suggests) documentation for Perl.
I failed to mention that it also has the benefit that developers can read the
perldoc if they care about method details - or they could read poddoc if they
only want a 7000 ft view

Sorry to reply to myself twice.
Making poddoc independent of Perl 6 opens the doors a little further for
having pythondoc and phpdoc and yourlanguageheredoc which extract the POD

Yeah,
All,
I am pleased to announce the release of Muldis::DB version 0.0.0 for
Perl 5 on CPAN. You can see it now, with nicely HTMLized
documentation, at:

This is the first formal release of Muldis::DB, which began
development last year (under the

You're concerned that an aspect of Perl 6 might have too much
freedom? Isn't Perl all about giving users freedom to choose their
own way of doing something?
Why treat documentation as a second-class citizen all the

The CA formatting code specifies an Balias to an ambient

Please can you explain the reasoning for choosing antecedent, rather

I disagree. perldoc.perl.org was started by JJ, gained popularity, and
then got awarded the official blessing of the onion. Over the years
there have many several sites with Perl documenation.
