[Careful with followups/replies]

At ftp:://perl.com/perl/doc/www-docset.ps.gz (and coming soon to a CPAN
archive near you) can be found a postscript version of the web-related
perl documentation.  It is contiguously page-numbered for booklike
printing.  Each module's revision number appears prominently on each page
(which is something new I just added to pod2man, actually).  It includes
the enclosed table of contents.
