Uh, I've been using perl since <perl5, and the docs were a moving target. The web site is hard to use. Would it have killed ANYONE to just say "perldoc CPAN". I'm used to man pages, and that's where I check first. I tend to forget about perldoc. But yes, I built perl5.8 myself and I use perl daily.
