Question: 

I can't see any HTML documentation for installed packages (Windows XP SP2). Why?

Answer: 

This is a known issues with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP
(Service Pack 2). The documentation for modules installed using PPM will
not display because of security settings in IE. To regenerate your docs
so that they will be properly displayed:

  • Delete the HTML documentation for perl-ldap in C:\Perl\docs\
  • Run the following at the command line:
        perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e ActivePerl::DocTools::UpdateHTML()
