SPUG: Perldoc book

I believe that at one time the Perl Resource Kit from O'Reilly had a
bound copy of most of the manual documentation, but I haven't looked for
a while.

My guess is that the reason no one does this is because it would go out
of date so incredibly quickly. It would also be huge, and would include
a lot of unusable stuff (ever seen a module where the documentation is
something like "I intend to document this some day"??).

Anyway that's my guess.
