<h2 class="chapter">15 Run perldoc using woman</h2>

<p>I like &ldquo;woman&rdquo;(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">
&mdash; Function: <b>perldoc-recache-everyday</b><var> &amp;optional days<a name="index-perldoc_002drecache_002deveryday-93"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>If the cache file is expired DAYS, force caches update. 
</p></blockquote></div>

   <p>With the <code>perldoc-obarray</code>, a lot of things can be done. 
<samp><span class="command">perldoc-tree</span></samp> use this obarray to build a tree view.

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: <b>perldoc-read-module</b><var> prompt &amp;optional require-match init<a name="index-perldoc_002dread_002dmodule-94"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>Read a perl module name. 
When a module name at point, the module become the default input. 
Don't add ": " in PROMPT. 
</p></blockquote></div>

<blockquote><p>Find the file of perl module. With prefix argument open the file in
other window.
