On CPAN it is now available a full set of "core" pods (no module
documentation) from Perl5.004 distribution converted to Texinfo and info
set of files.  Handy, in particular, if you are an emacs user.
The previous set of this kind was made from 5.002 pods.
They can be found, together with a short writeup and some tools
used in this conversion, under authors/id/MJAEG/perl-info.5.004.tar.gz.

There is even a chance that one day a link to  $CPAN/doc/manual/info/
directory will show up as well. :-)
