I looked at the source code of the help framework of the interactive PDL
shell to see how can I hook it up to Padre and I think it won't be simple but
it can provide some very interesting things.
I think it would be nice to factor it out in two directions
1) that the output won't be connected to STDOUT (currently the help
module is calling print directly)
so we can hook it up to Padre or any other form of output.
2) That it will be able to provide help on any set of modules so we
can tell it to give help on
let's say SDL and then it would look for function names in the
SDL:: namespace.
In Padre we have a help window (connected to the F2 button) that can
give you help
(text extracted from POD) in any core perl keyword, variable or
operator. I plan to connect
that to such topics as "PDL" or "SDL" or "Bioperl".
Is there a way to fetch all the functions/keywords the PDL help system supports?
