I just saw a link to a bash perldoc completion script:
http://github.com/ap/perldoc-complete. I was confused by his need to write it and then realized that bash hadn't cribbed the awesome completion for perldoc that zsh has. I thought there was pretty good parity after bash improved their system to (nearly) match zsh, apparently I was incorrect.
Checking out the git source for zsh and running git status on _perldoc , I found that perldoc completion has existed since at least 2001, when it was moved from User/_perldoc to Unix/_perldoc. Roxor!
And people wonder why "I <3 Zsh!"
.

I came across your profile from a conference you are speaking at for PERL developers. I was wondering if you know any in Los Angeles area looking for a full-time position with a mobile app company?
