This collection is not intended as a repository for original material, but as a collection and organization of the perl resources available on the net. This collection contains every archive of perl information I know of. The intent is to mirror from originating sites where possible, thus ensuring that the information is as up-to-date as possible. I've made some effort to remove duplicates within the archives. Various top level directories and files of interest are: 00global.txt Global listing of all files on the disc. dirnames.txt All directories on the disc. filename.txt A list of all files on the disc. go.exe MSDOS file browser. ls_lr Unix ls -lR CD-ROM ISO FILES - Free Download -Download gratis classicistranieri.com output. utils\* Binaries for various Unix versions of the lookup program. utils\src Source for the full word lookup program. doc\ Documentation about the CDROM and the PERL language info\ Documentation in GNU Info format library\ Various useful utility libraries for PERL misc\ Miscellaneous amusements modules\ Add-on modules for PERL perl5\ The new PERL5 version. perlsrc\ Sources for both PERL4 and PERL5 scripts\ Contributed scripts for PERL utils\ Various utilities for the UN*X version. --- There is a full word lookup program integrated into the MSDOS view program. With this program you can find any word on the disc in seconds. You access it with the F7 key. We provide several binaries for a command line version in the utils\ directory. You'll find the source in utils\src if your machine isn't represented there. --- This CD-ROM consists primarily of the contents of the following archives.

The FTP archive from which this CD-ROM is based includes symbolic links to mirrors of original archive sites. These links have been replaced by copies on the CD-ROM. Also, for CD-ROM distribution, it is appropriate to decompress, extract, and format data, and this has been done where possible. The information is as organized as time permits, and greater organization will be imposed in the future. Up-to-date information can be found at the FTP archive site, ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/perl or at the original archives (listed in the ARCHIVES file). There are currently a small number of files which are not available in any other archive. Aside from symbolic link expansion, this CD-ROM differs from the FTP archive only in that certain files with prohibitive distribution restrictions have been removed.
