Hello everyone, My question may come from stupidness, so be warned :-) I am trying to get the perl core documentation, as found on http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/ It is nice, there I can see the online docs, but no ways to get the offline version as an tarball etc. Either, wget won't also work with simple params (wget --recursive URL). So, my question[s]: a) am I too stupid to get it or b) is O'Reilly hiding offline docs from the user to let them buy the books (well, perl is open source, its doc not?) Thanks for your help and patience, Timo

You need to 'apt-get install perl-doc'. If you are having trouble finding package names to update you need to get to know the packages.debian.org website.

Oops, make that apt-get install perl-5.6-doc.

If you are having trouble finding package names to update you need to get to know the packages.debian.org website. Tom Yepp, I already hav'em (dselect) and did a apt-get right now on perl-doc. But this package (if it expands to /usr/share/doc/perl-doc) only contains a changelog between the dedicated perl versions and contains some examples scripts plus some very tiny docs. What I am looking for is the classic perl core doc containing e.g. perlfaq, perldata, perlsyn, perlop etcetera. Although dedicated to console, I sometimes prefer the HTML version of that doc, not man nor pod or that; thus an exact copy of the perldoc.com pages. Thanx, Timo
