Regarding a macperl way to view pod documentation such as pod2html or pod2text, a quick summary to get the answer into the searchable archives: The obvious answer (duh!) worked; as Matthias implied/questioned: simply open pod2html in macperl, save it as a droplet, and drop on the module you are curious about. Macperl reports a file is available, and a browser shows you the html-ized pod. I apologize for not recognizing the obvious answer; when I looked at the source and saw things like: Perl -Sx "{0}" {"Parameters"}; Exit {Status} #!perl eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if $running_under_some_shell; I thought for sure that these were unix-isms which would choke macperl. Yet, MacPerl rules! I also grabbed 'shuck' from ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/Beta/Shuck_10b1.sit.bin and it does the job nicely also. Thanks, Matthias! Regards, Mike
