Carlos Ramirez announced www.perldoc.com, a central location for all Perl-related documentation (manpages, core modules and utilities, and CPAN modules). The current release offers a complete searchable Perl 5.6 Documentation in HTML format, and plans are to have all the CPAN docs available this weekend. Simple URLs like http://www.perldoc.com/f?map can be used to create links to the docs.
Michael Stevens had trouble finding the perl 1.0 source, so he went through and tracked down perl versions 1 through 4.036 and put them up at http://www.etla.org/retroperl/.
"I'd love any versions I'm missing before 5.0, and news of successful builds - I got perl 1.0 running on a openbsd 2.5 machine, with a bit of fiddling, although it does core dump rather more than I might like," he writes.
