I think I see how to get them in plain text, but how do I get *all* of them? I barely know how to use "perldoc -q" and "perldoc -f", is there a way to get perldoc to dump *everything* it knows into a huge text file? - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
