This might be what you are talking about. It is from a Sept. 2003 thread titled "Re: adding pages to ActivePerl HTML documentation tree". I thought it would eventually com in handy so I saved it. It has helped me several times. Hopefully it will work for you.
Regenerate the TOC for perl docs: perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e "ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC()" Regenerate All perl docs: perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e "ActivePerl::DocTools::UpdateHTML(1)" Cheers, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Casteele/ShadowLord Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2006 6:28 PM To: Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Re: Rebuild (and check) documentation? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Christopher, Thank you, but I had already tried that without success. I do remember something long ago where someone gave me a short perl script to generate the documentation, but I have long since lost the script. IIRC, there was something that would iterate all the lib and site/lib folders, pulling the POD and generating the html from scratch. Then it would finish by calling DocTools::TOC() or something like that. I tried to search the online docs for something at activestate, as well as google'd what keywords I coul think of looking for, all with little success. Maybe someone will know what I'm talking about, or at least point me in the direction to look? BTW, the DocTools documentation at ActiveState (and even my local documentation) seems to come up with a blank page for me.. :-( Cas On 10 Dec 2006 at 8:29, Christopher Taranto wrote: > Hi Casteele/ShadowLord, > > Sunday, December 10, 2006, 6:47:05 AM, you wrote: > > CS> My html documentation folder got clobbered, some help files are fine, > CS> others are totally garbled.
