NAME

Perldoc::Server - local Perl documentation server

SYNOPSIS

    script/perldoc_server_server.pl

DESCRIPTION

Perldoc::Server is a Catalyst application to serve local Perl documentation in the same style as http://perldoc.perl.org.

In addition to keeping the same look and feel of http://perldoc.perl.org, Perldoc::Server offer the following features:

  • View source of any installed module

  • Improved syntax highlighting

    • Line numbering

    • use and require statements linked to modules

  • Sidebar shows links to your 10 most viewed documentation pages

CONFIGURATION

By default, Perldoc::Server will show documentation for the Perl installation used to run the server.

However, it is also possible to serve documentation for a different Perl installation using a configuration file perldoc_server.conf as follows (example shown for Perl 5.8.9):

 perl /Users/jj/perl/perl-5.8.9/bin/perl
 perl_version 5.8.9
 search_path /Users/jj/perl/perl-5.8.9/lib/5.8.9/darwin-2level
 search_path /Users/jj/perl/perl-5.8.9/lib/5.8.9
 search_path /Users/jj/perl/perl-5.8.9/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level
 search_path /Users/jj/perl/perl-5.8.9/lib/site_perl/5.8.9
