In the Perl world, I use perldoc all the time to view the exact
documentation for the installed module I’m working with. And on a regular
basis, it’s useful for me to inspect the source code of the installed
modules.
I have been going through quite a few contortions to look at the source
code for
We have a Google Summer of Code project to work on rakudoc, and the
latest version of rakudoc points to "noisgul" 's repo.
But ... rakudo aka p6doc was intended to work in the same way as perldoc.
At the time the p6doc project was started, there was actually very
little documentation, so most
Can you try 'mkdir' manually beforehand to create the desired
'/usr/share/perl6/site/doc' directory, then run 'zef install p6doc' ?
Just wondering... . I note your other comments with great interest.
Best, Bill.

Yep, there are a couple of (known) issues here:

Oh, that points to new, different, problems.
https://modules.raku.org/search/?q=p6doc links to
https://github.com/Raku/doc which does not contain a ``p6doc`` scrip

And here it comes again, the common mess about Raku and Rakudo. :)
The point is that Rakudo doesn't come bundled with documentation about Raku
because the former just implements the latter. It's not like it is with perl
where `perl` binary and `Perl` are the same and `perl -v` is your current

I've worked on machines stuck with perl 5.8 when the online

There really shouldn't be that much difference between what the
documentation says and how your version works.
The biggest thing would be new functions that you don't have yet.
(Which you could just copy the code from the sources into your program if
you need them.)
Even if rakudoc did install, i

Gianni is basically right. rakudoc has not really been released yet into
the ecosystem, and p6doc will get you the documentation itself, which you
will have to build then. So LTA is true, and there's some work to be done.
There's probably an issue already created, but it will pop up if you create

I googled rakudoc and that led to:
https://github.com/Raku/rakudoc
which says it's forked from:
https://github.com/noisegul/perl6-p6doc
So I tried that in m.r.o and it's listed:
https://modules.raku.org/search/?q=p6doc
So, perhaps you can zef install p6doc?
Maybe the doc you read mentioning
https://docs.raku.org/programs/02-reading-docs says to use ``rakudoc``
to read the documentation of installed modules.
I don't have it installed::
$ rakudoc
-bash: rakudoc: command not found
Not a problem, that same page says to use zef::
$ $ zef install rakudoc
