# pkg_add p5-Pod-Cpandoc
> perldoc that works for modules you don't have installed
Maintainer: Andrew Fresh <afresh1 at openbsd dot org>
"cpandoc" is a perl script that acts like "perldoc" except that if it would have bailed out with "No documentation found for "Uninstalled::Module"", it will instead scrape a CPAN index for the module's documentation. One important feature of "cpandoc" is that it *only* scrapes the live index if you do not have the module installed. So if you use "cpandoc" on a module you already have installed, then it will just read the already-installed documentation. This means that the version of the documentation matches up with the version of the code you have. As a fringe benefit, "cpandoc" will be fast for modules you've installed. :)
