Public bug reported:
The installed documentation is mostly stored as .pod.gz. It's quite
inconvenient having to decompress them to a home directory or having to
be root to decompress them in place just to make them readable to
perldoc. Piping them from zcat doesn't work either since perldoc doesn't
seem to accept input from STDIN. Unless there's a facility like lesspipe
but for perldoc, I don't see how it could be accessed more easily. Maybe
it should just be distributed in uncompressed format?
Another issue is the HTML documentation which is currently in the
libapache-mod-perl-doc package. One would think that it is specific to
mod_perl 1.x but it actually covers both mod_perl 1.x and 2.x. Maybe
it'd be better if there was just one package that could serve as HTML
documentation for both versions?
Lastly, the HTML documentation is approximately 3 years out of date. I
have built my own from the latest svn snapshot dated October 28 so I
could just tarball and send it if the maintainer wants to update this,
although building it isn't really that difficult.
Thanks! =)
