That's not true, if you have ActiveState, it will install the HTML docs 
for all modules in the distributrion *and* for all modules installed 
later with ppm.  And they're searchable, by the usual explorer search 
interface.  Windows sucks, but let's not exagerate.

A nice summary of "Perl documentation documentation" can be found at
