The CPAN stuff is for all perl modules.

The PDL web site and development is hosted at sf.net.

Our web page, http://pdl.perl.org and the equivalent sf.net page
contains links to all the PDL docs in HTML form.  Similarly, the
online perldl help/apropos/?/?? and pdldoc command provide ways
to query for documentation.

All the PDL installs I have also build the HTML docs as well
as part of the build process.  Since PDL has some "special"
documentation support, generic parsing of the distribution
files as in http://search.cpan.org is only partially successful.

For the best quality documentation, I recommend PDL web site for
internet access and the PDL install docs for local access.
