GETTING STARTED
---------------

ActivePerl Enterprise includes the Perl Package Manager (PPM), a
useful tool for Perl module maintenance (installation, removal,
upgrading, etc.).  For information on using PPM, refer to the
"PPM.QuickStart" file or run "perldoc ppm". To start using PPM, run
"ppm" at the Windows command prompt or Unix shell prompt.

On Unix platforms, all documentation for Perl and included modules is
available as standard man pages.  You may use the system's man program to
browse these after installation.

On Windows, a full set of documentation is included in HTML format,
and can be conveniently browsed from the "Start" menu.

On all platforms, most Perl documentation can also be accessed from the
command prompt using the perldoc utility.  To learn more about using
perldoc, type "perldoc perldoc" at the command prompt.

Source code for Perl and all extensions is included under the
"source" tarballs.  Note that most users will not need to recompile
from the sources.
