Description Kjetil Kjernsmo 2003-12-15 23:21:39 UTC
Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.23-2003-12-14.1.roo

I use konqi a lot to read documentation, and the ability to read man pages is really neat. Perl PODs can be converted to both man-pages and HTML, so they can be read by konqi, and indeed, my installed Perl modules are easily accessible by writing e.g. man:Perl::Module, and that's neat. Nevertheless, pod2man looses a lot of formatting, and the perl docs are far from as readable as they could be. Also, it would be great to be able to simply point konqi to a .pm file and read the docs that are there.

Therefore, I hereby submit a wish for a native Plain Old Documentation translator in konqi. The POD specs is in the perlpod manpage... :-)
