MacPerl comes with a Perl doc reader called Shuck, (corncob icon), that 
reads the files in the :MacPerl ?:pod: folder, and also any embedded 
documentation in pod format within a .pm module or other perl programs. 

Very simple to invoke, too.

if you want to know about a certain command, like vec, you can open up a 
quick MacPerl window and write

#!perl
vec();

command-click the word 'vec' while in MacPerl and MacPerl hands it off 
to Shuck which looks up the term in the pod files. (in this case, 
perlfunc.pod)

It is not necessary to cc: me via e-mail unless you mean to speak off-group.
I read these via nntp.perl.org, so as to get the stuff OUT of my mailbox. :-)
