Sorry for the off topic post but there are a lot of developers here that
might be able to help me.

I learn code best by looking at a file and looking up all the stuff I don't
understand in a help file or documentation.  I taught myself VB and Delphi
this way.  My problem is Perl has no help file or good, *searchable*
documentation that I can find.  So here's my question:

Is there a good help file or searchable document (perferrably free) for
Perl?  If so, where can find it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

(...) in addition to activestate's site, you can look at perldoc.com for all the man pages (which should have been installed with perl anyway), and also at search.cpan.org for modules. Dan (22 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
