Search HTML documentation of local modules Peter Scott 08-10-2006

A colleague wishes to provide a search box in his HTMLified POD of
locally written modules. Apparently this is something that rubydoc does
(I wouldn't know). Yes, we know about perldoc; but this feature seems
(a) independently useful and (b) something someone should have done
already. So in the spirit of laziness, does anyone know of prior art in
this respect? I know it's not hard to write, but stealing is even
easier. search.cpan.org and Google led me only to a similar request
but no answers.

install htdig ? There are probably better solutions though.

Sorry, Ron, but nice as the TOC is, it doesn't provide the search box my
colleague is looking for.
