Well it wasn't meant just for me but for all users. How many perl-
developers know elisp? And how many of them can handle 9000 lines of
code?

My idea is that the perl&&emacs-community  could/would supply
testcases for every problem/bug they encounter.

Actually I'm trying to, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it,
since there are already good html-versions of perldoc, even solutions
which are rendering just-in-time any module in INC.

I didn't mean to demand of you making a new info-file but to suggest
(for the sake of simplicity) to skip an outdated feature from the
menu.

yeah already found a workaround, other thread.

Thanx for your help and don't mind, I was just brainstorming.
