The DRAFT alpha-release of the Texinfo version of the perl man page can
be found via anonymous ftp in the chem.bu.edu:/pub/perl-manual directory.
The pre-formatted info files are there.  The current edition of the
Texinfo perl manual is 0.3a and currently contains the same
information/text as the perl unix-style man page, as of perl version 3.0
patchlevel 28.  In the future, new tutorial and examples sections will
hopefully be added.
