Burke, who suggested installing Pod::Perldoc. That module comes with a replacement 'perldoc' script which Does The Right Thing on Windows. It's pure Perl, so just fetch it from CPAN. If you have a make utility (preferably Microsoft's nmake, since that's what ActivePerl was built with), then the standard "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" should work. Otherwise copy Pod\Perldoc.pm to a directory under @INC and put perldoc into the Perl "bin" directory; it may need converting to a batch file by hand (with pl2bat) so that you can simply call it as "perldoc".
