I've never heard of it so it can't be good. I would prefer girlpages anyway :)

  That's because you have never used UNIX :)

Great idea, and not difficult to setup/convert.

I only recently came across the term myself.  And I vote for girl page too.

No deal. That would ban young users from reading the docs.
Then again, they never read any docs. Heck, if it doesn't work like
you want it to, patch it (right, Chris? :) )

Back on topic, I think a man page is a good idea. I have the Perl 5
html docs which have been converted from pod and I must tell you it
works like a charm. Hyperlinked, formatted et al. After all, the pod
format has been specifically design for documentaion.
