If you install from ppm, you get HTML docs, but if you install any other way you
generally don't. The pp doc is just pod and you have pod2html.bat.
pod2html pp > pp.html
If you make a little script:
# update HTML TOC after non-ppm installation
use ActivePerl::DocTools;
ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC();
you can copy the pp.html to someplace in the ActivePerl HTML tree and run that to add
it to the HTML index.
Those steps are what ppm does for you.
BTW, if you use my "gpp", you'll get the tooltips and a help window with the pp doc in
it. Wait for PAR 0.86 for a gpp bug fix.
