Thanks everybody for your replies. I think that Craig came the closest to what I needed. Here's what I figured out. In order to get your own perl modules to have their documentation registered with the perldl documentation database whenever you 'use' the module, simply include this line somewhere:
$PDL::onlinedoc->scan(__FILE__) if ($PDL::onlinedoc); The variable $PDL::onlinedoc is a global variable declared in PDL/Doc/Perldl.pm, so it should only exist when you're running the perldl shell. I spent probably three hours this afternoon trying to figure that out and somehow overlooked the 'scan' function. In case you're wondering, there's also 'scantree' method, which 'scans whole directory trees for documentation.' I also found what seems to be a bug that causes a segmentation fault, but I'll report that separately. David
