Hi everybody,
I had an earlier version of perl installed on my Win98
machine and I could never get Perldoc to work. I figured
something was misconfigured, so I didn't worry about it
until I installed a newer version of perl. And guess what,
Perldoc still doesn't work, even after a completely clean
install of the new version. I get "bad command or file name"
every time I try to use it. If I type 'perdoc' I get the help screen
deatailing how to use it, but if I type 'perldoc perldoc' I get the error message as above. Any idea why this is happening?
Can you post the output of 'set' & 'perl -V'.
Ok, nothing looks wrong there except your lib dir being in the PATH, but that wouldn't cause this problem. Things to try:
1) Install Pod::Perldoc, the new replacement for the older perldoc.
-or-
1) What is the exact error message?
2) What is the output for 'perldoc -v perldoc'?
3) What happens with: 'perldoc -u perldoc' or 'perldoc -t perldoc'?
