Perl, Alt format for man pages?

Alt format for man pages?

Author	Message
deane_bar.. #1 / 3	Alt format for man pages? Is there anyway I can get the PERL man pages in some kind of word-processing format, like .DOC or .WPD, or even .RTF? I'm trying to print them out in HTML, but there just too much information to make it manageable. Thanks. Deane Sent via Deja.com http://www.--*.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Blasphemy! No really, the solution to this is simple: Use your browsers "Save As" feature to save the file as HTML. Most word processing applications (even the evil one) will import HTML. Then you can do whatever the hell you want! :-) -=Fozz -- Dynamic web developer, Perl hacker. Using the Internet since 1990.

Most word processing applications (even > the evil one) will import HTML. Then you can do whatever the hell you want! It's even easier than that for win32 citizens. ActiveState Perl comes with a huge HTML tree which sits in the directory whre Perl was installed, and these can be directly imported by anything which reads in HTML files. And if you don't want to do that, there's a pod2html Perl program that comes with the install, which will be easier than pulling up the browser and doing all the files page-by-page.
