before I reinvent the wheel:

...cperl-mode comes with a lot of options to show perldocs, but requires external unix tools like man and nroff to work, which is a problem on Win without cygwin.

I'm hacking something with pod2man and woman.el (emacs built-in interpretation of nroff output), but probably someone allready knows a drop-in replacement which works generally?

This thread is intended for Emacs users programming Perl.

I'm not interested to explain or defend the basics of an Integrated Development Environment to non-believers.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
