I have uploaded to CPAN the following:

$CPAN/authors/id/BMIDD/perlpdf-5.002.tar.gz : 
 Updated version of the complete perl documentation in Adobe Acrobat format.

$CPAN/authors/id/BMIDD/perlhtml-5.002.tar.gz :
 Updated version of the complete perl documentation in HTML format.  Note
 that this suite of html uses 8.3 filenames, and is also Macintosh compatible.
 It also includes a master index.htm.  Thus, even though the Macintosh and
 DOS ports of perl5 are not up to 5.002, and not all documented features in
 these documents will be compatible with Mac/DOS, you can at least read and
 store these docs from/on these OS's.

$CPAN/authors/id/BMIDD/pod2html-1.19.gz :
 Latest version of pod2html, used to create perlhtml-5.002.tar.gz above.
 Configurable internally (edit the script) to suit your OS.

If these have not propogated to your favorite CPAN site by the time you
read this, you may grab them from 

ftp://ftp.metronet.com/pub/perl/authors/id/BMIDD.

But please, to avoid overloading the metronet server, check your fave
CPAN site first.

Enjoy!
