A few random things I like about perldoc.pl:
- perldoc.pl has much better search, I especially like its special handling of perldeltas. Also the fact that I can input a punctuation variable in the search box and it just takes me to the right place in perlvar. I use that all the time.
- perldoc.perl.org is buggy, the bug Karl mentioned is still there and it's pretty serious. For example, go to 'bless' documentation and try clicking on the link to 'ref'. It doesn't work. It was reported *years* ago and it's still not fixed.
- perldoc.pl is more up to date, 5.30.1 was released a week ago and perldoc.perl.org still doesn't have it.
- I like that perldoc.pl provides blead documentation. Thanks to that I don't have read PODs straight from perl's git repo to check whether the documentation issue I've just found was already fixed or not. It saves time.
That's a *very* risky bet.
