  • My *guess* would be that it's not in your PATH. If it is, then try rebooting once. If it's not, adjust your path and reboot. So far as I know, NT doesn't pick up PATH adjustments until you've rebooted at least once.

    Then, there's always the HTML-style docs you can use.

    • It's not that it couldn't find perldoc; it's that perldoc produces no output:

      C:\>perl -v

      This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
      ...

      C:\>perldoc File::Find

      C:\>

      And what's funny is:

      C:\>perldoc Meow::Foo
      No documentation found for "Meow::Foo".

      C:\>

      Strangeness.
