AnnoCPAN is a web interface for the documentation of all the modules on CPAN, where users can add annotations on the margin of specific paragraphs throughout the POD. The master AnnoCPAN site is located at http://annocpan.org/.
AnnoCPAN-Perldoc provides a substitute for the 'perldoc' command that displays the annotations locally and without requiring a connection to the Internet. It works by using a local note database that can be downloaded from
http://annocpan.org/annopod.db
This is an SQLite3 database; the file should be saved in one of these locations:
$HOME
$USERPROFILE
$ALLUSERSPROFILE
/var/annocpan
It can also be called .annopod.db, to hide it in Unix-like systems. It is your resposibility to keep this file as up-to-date as you want. Future versions may include an automatic update feature (which will require network connectivity).
