<h2 class="chapter">15 Run perldoc using woman</h2>
<p>I like “woman”(that is WithOut MAN). perldoc.el make it possible to
view perl document without man. To use it with <code>help-dwim</code>, a
list of modules is build automatic using a perl script
<samp><span class="file">perldoc-cache.pl</span></samp>. The cache can be update automaticly. It is
configured in pde-load. See <a href="pde_002dload.html#pde_002dload">pde-load</a>.
<div class="defun">
