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
