1) Matthias' own Shuck (in the 5.10r2 distribution).  This is a very nice
way to view pods, and takes little memory.

2) See if you can find a copy of MacWeb at info-mac.  It'll work just fine
for Perl docs.  As I recall, MacWeb wanted about 1Mb.  You'll need to run
whatever .pod and .pm files you want to view through pod2html (which if it
isn't in the MacPerl distribution, is available at any CPAN site).
