in thread [emacs] perldoc on windows (update)

yeah , thanks,I know. :)

I stole some code from Emacs::PDE which does it with pod2man and woman.el , this solves most issues.

I also try to avoid the console and use eshell inside emacs instead, perldoc works there flawlessly.

A third option might be to load the raw POD code and to switch to pod-mode. (didn't try this yet)

I didn't start this thread because I don't have workarounds, but because I think that there should be a drop in replacement such that the logic and bindings in cperl-mode continue to work seamlessly.

    "...I didn't start this thread because I don't have workarounds..."

    Yes, sure. But wouldn't it be much better to consider a two screen solution? Reading the docs in one monitor in a browser and coding in the other in our beloved emacs?

    This was the way i did it for a long time. Very convenient. Just some thoughts...

        "No..."

        Yes, yes. I got it. I'm glad that i didn't recommend Eclipse and Epic. And see also ;-)
