<h1>ActivePerl Resources</h1>

</ul>
<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2>
<p>ActivePerl includes the core Perl documentation, the Perl FAQ, and the
ActivePerl User Guide (which contains information specific to ActivePerl,
such as the Release Notes and ActivePerl component documentation).</p>
<p>The ActivePerl User Guide is provided in HTML format; using a web browser,
load the file <code>html/index.html</code> to view the document set.
The ActivePerl User Guide includes the following information:
<ul>
<li>information specific to ActivePerl (such as the Release Notes)</li>
<li>documentation for ActivePerl components (such as the Perl Package
Manager)</li>
<li>documentation for the Perl core, Perl pragmas, and Perl modules that
are included with ActivePerl</li>
</ul>
<p>When you add packages to your Perl installation using the
<a class="doc" href="faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html">Perl Package Manager</a>,
the ActivePerl User Guide is updated with the documentation contained in the
new modules.
<p>Perl documentation can also be accessed from the command line,
using the <code>perldoc</code> command. For example:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>perldoc <em>module</em>.pm</code>
</blockquote>
<p>...will display the embedded documentation for the specified module.</p>
