I noticed that Matthias actually mentioned that info docs is available
and bundled out of the box on Ubuntu linux for many popular langs, as
of 2008-12.

Is that true? Where can i download these info files? As far as i know,
a little google search or official doc sites usually don't have a
download for info format.

I'm interested in getting current version doc for perl, python, php,
and ruby.

Thanks.
