NAME

perli11ndoc − view documentation of installed libraries bound using Glib::Object::Introspection

ABSTRACT

perli11ndoc allows you to view Perl documentation for Glib libraries bound to Perl using Glib::Object::Introspection. Glib::Object::Introspection uses the gobject−introspection and libffi projects to dynamically create Perl bindings for a wide variety of libraries. Examples include gtk+, webkit, libsoup and many more. All libraries currently installed will be shown with Perl−specific documentation and examples. Where Glib::Object::Introspection differs from the C library, differences are pointed out and the Perl−specific interface is defined.

DEPENDENCIES

perli11ndoc requires that XML::LibXML be installed to run. It also requires that the corresponding C library headers be installed on the system to provide documentation. For instance, on a Debian−based system you would need libgtk−3−dev to see the Perl introspected documentation for Gtk3.
