OK. For Windows there is now http://dwimperl.com/ which is open-source and is
considered better than Activestate Perl.

I mean that Microsoft Windows has been shipping with an API for Windows
application to provide help to their users. See for example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinHelp

As a result, applications were able to use such systems instead of needing to
provide their own custom and inconsistent help systems.

I don't know which help system like that is recommended for use by Perl/Tk, but
maybe other people here can enlighten us.
