<P>Documentation for ActivePerl is provided in Html format in the <EM>Html</EM> directory in your <EM>perl</EM>
directory. This has the documentation from the standard perl distribution, as well as the complete
documentation for modules and extensions. For more information on Win32-specific extensions, see <A href="Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq9.html#What_modules_come_with_the_Perl_">What
modules come with the ActivePerl distribution?</A>.</P>
<P>Note that the standard perl distribution documentation (<EM>perl*.html</EM>) has some
UNIX-specific information, and lists some features/functions that will not work on the Windows
version of ActivePerl. The perlwin32 and perlport pages discuss the portability issues under the
Win32 platform.</P>
<P>You can also read the Perl documentation with the perldoc command. At the command prompt, type
perldoc followed by the name of the document you want to read, as in:</P>
<PRE>
perldoc perlwin32
perldoc perlfaq
</PRE>
<P>Documentation is provided in the binary distributions (it is created during install), and can be
created by install or it can be made by "make installhtml" in the source distribution.</P>
