Hi,
=20
Upon trying to add a module via PPM, I discovered that my perltoc.htm
file is missing. It has been there in the past. Is there a way to
regenerate this file based on the modules I have currently on my
installation?
=20
thanks,
Matt

The file will be regenerated when you run "ap-update-html".

Does the perltoc.html file really disappear when you install modules
with ppm? If so, we would certainly like to figure out what's
happening. Can you share any more information, or file a bug report?

RE: Perltoc.htm file is missing

Hi Gisle,

Thank you for your help -- I will run the job.

I should be clear -- In the past, ppm has worked just fine with the
documentation. When I ran it this time, I got a note saying that
perltoc.htm could not be updated. I then checked and saw that it was
missing. I cannot say for sure that ppm actually destroyed it, or that
something else I did unrelated to ppm made it disappear. I will try
again, reinstall the module and see if perltoc.htm is actually destroyed
by ppm. At this point, I doubt that it does, since all my other
ppm-downloaded modules have worked just fine. If it does, I will file a
bug report.

Thanks again,
matt

I don't seem to have 'ap-update-html' in my install... Can I download
it?

It's part of ActivePerl from build 819. If you have an older perl
you can instead run:

perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e "UpdateHTML(verbose => 1)"
