Installing documentation for modules

[TonyGroves]

I notice that when I manually install Perl modules into my Windows ActivePerl 5.8 installation, the Perl HTML documentation does not get updated to include the new modules. Does anybody know of any way I can make this happen?

Thanks.

I remember that there's a command line utility which generates that page..... Can't remember what it is and don't have time to look now, sorry. It can be done though, I did it a while ago.

Could it be pod2html? Haven't used it myself, but this might be what you're looking for.

 

[TonyGroves]

pod2html" does produce HTML from the POD content of Perl files, but unfortunately does not integrate the pages into the installation's documentation system, like PPM does.

Ah well, I suppose the solution is to leave the whole job to PPM; I'll have to see if I can come up with a way to get PPM to install locally-stored modules.

Thanks.

If you use ppm to add and manage your perl modules, it *should* automagically update the html based documentation stored on your windoze hdd.
Works perfectly for me.
