Automating help doc index as new modules are installedby Mr_Micawber (Beadle) |

Mr_Micawber has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: The mobo on my WinXP box went bad, and -- at least for now -- I'm not going back to Gates & Co. for more bloatware. My backup computer is an old 400mhz HP, and I've set it up with Ubuntu 7.1, compiling Perl5.8.8 as part of my LAMP stack. It's a very "standard" install structure AFAIK. On WinXP, I depended on a package manager built into a local Perl homepage app (I think it was IndigoPerl). I found it very convenient that the documentation for newly installed packages showed up there in a nifty list. Now when I install new modules, I use Ubuntu package repositories when it's easy, and CPAN when I want the latest version or can't find what I want via apt-get. I also install by compiling when the above don't work I'm like a kid in a candy store. I want to try some modules just for fun, some from curiosity, and some because I just think I "should". Now I have so many modules installed kinda willy-nilly that I would like to have a local index.html that I could auto-update with links to (html representations) of all my current pod/man pages. Does this already exist and I just don't know where to look or is there a script or tool for this job?
