Description
Perl 5.003 man pages in Newton Book Format (NewtonOS 2.0)
These turned out, for the most part, at lot better than I had hoped, thanks
to the nice HTML coding and the wonderful Newt's Cape by Steve Weyer. Please
send me any bugs or formatting errors. I don't know how much I will support
these, but I imagine I will update them at some point.
All links have been removed. I didn't feel like making this a
fully-functioning set of books with links, just a handy way to carry around
the Perl docs. Module man docs are not included, and I have no plans to
include them.
perldiag, perlfunc and perlguts pages are split up into several pages.
perldiag is organized alphabetically, while perlfunc and perlguts have the
main section separate, with the rest organized alphabetically, because my
Newton MP120 simply could not process files that big into books with Newt's
Cape.
The split files also have slight name changes so they will be more
descriptive and still fit in the Newton character limit for icon view. The
alphabetically listed files are pdiag-xx, pfunc-xx, pguts-xx.

Release Notes
07-Oct-96
* Updated with perl5.003 distribution.
* Newt's Cape fixed bug with <XMP> tag that caused some problems with
disappearing text in some places where a < or > showed up.
* Split up perlguts APIs into two different files.
* Fixed minor formatting problems.
* Still having problem with TITLE of the perl overview manpage coming up
incorrectly. For now, the name is changed to perl-man. Don't ask me, I
can't figure it out.
12-Sep-96
First release. Not much else to say.

Hints
This whole thing won't fit on a 2MB card (probably on a 4). Put in the
packages you will be using frequently or whatever. For instance, the docs
for C programmers and extension writing (xs*, call, embed, guts, etc.) are
of no use to me, so I don't keep them on my Newton. I do, however, keep
almost everything else all on one 2MB card. I can fit everything except for
the xs, call, embed, guts, diag, pod, book and perl-man packages on my card
with about 8K to spare.
I use a package freezer (freeze-utilities-1.0, available from AMUG) so the
books don't take up heap space while they are not being used. The problem
with keeping them frozen, of course, is that they cannot be searched while
they are frozen.
