Can I get to the old web page?

[jjhatt]

Sports Fans! The new Perl documentation page, however pretty, does not meet my needs. I usually use the Perl web page for a reference manual. On the old page I could just look up a topic like "syswrite" or "-X" and I am taken right to it. On the new page, I don't know how to search for topics like this. When I am in the lab and do not have my Perl library with me, it was convenient to lookup specific items from the old site. Now I cannot do that. Can I get back to the old site? ---jjh

@jjhatt try http://perldoc.pl - it may work better for you

[jjhatt]

Karen, Wow, thanks for the quick reply! On our lab machines we are often limited to what can and cannot be installed. Since I do not have perldoc loaded on my targets, the old Perl web site was very helpful. Do you have a search function that I just don't see? ---jjh

You can download offline copy of old site for Perl 5.22 from Wayback Machine. Search feature works even offline (very clever one).

Anselmo, Thank you so much for your reply. I will consider grabbing a copy of the old site, if I really need it. As I use it more, I'm getting the hang of https://perldoc.pl/perl and right now this web page seems to meet my needs.

Thanks again! ---jjh

For reference, in case somebody would have a preference for the old style, Perldoc::Server would run the ancient perldoc.perl.org website based on your local Perl installation.

It's a Catalyst application and provide search.
