Hmmm - that is an interesting thought! creating an embedded perl module
as a plugin for gnome-vfs. There is only one downside to that, and that
is that you would have to compile the gnome-vfs library for your desktop
to make it work for you ( and your particular Perl installation ).
But - imagine - not just things like perldoc: but what about dbi: - the
mind boggles!
Cheers.
