I noticed that Matthias actually mentioned that info docs is available and bundled out of the box on Ubuntu linux for many popular langs, as of 2008-12. Is that true? Where can i download these info files? As far as i know, a little google search or official doc sites usually don't have a download for info format. I'm interested in getting current version doc for perl, python, php, and ruby. Thanks. Xah ∑ http://xahlee.org/ ☄ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
