Texinfo & Info versions of the perl 5.002 pods have been uploaded to CPAN.

You can find the gzipped tarfile at

       .../doc/manual/info/perl-info.tar.gz

It should be available on mirror sites soon.

Note that mod pods are not included - only the core 5.002 pods were
converted.

Please direct any comments or queries to <[email protected]>.

Regards,
Nick Gianniotis.

"Texinfo" is a documentation system that uses a single source
file to produce both on-line information and printed output.  This
means that instead of writing two different documents, one for the
on-line help or other on-line information and the other for a typeset
manual or other printed work, you need write only one document.  When
the work is revised, you need revise only one document.  (You can read
the on-line information, known as an "Info file", with an Info
documentation-reading program.)

"Info" is a GNU program for reading documentation online. It is integral
to the GNU emacs editor and also exists as a standalone program.
