I'm talking about the explanatory text that comes in many of the special perldoc pages. It gives a deeper understanding of the way things work in the language through lucid, extensive descriptions of how things work, in a way that does not exist in the Ruby world as far as I've seen apart from short articles and tutorials scattered around the Web and a number of excellent books. . . . and that, really, is Ruby's documentation strength: the community is overflowing with authors who have written and published really excellent books (though ri is nice for what it is, too). -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
