- <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>
