Subject: Where is the PPI manual?
Running "perldoc PPI" or "man PPI" gives a short man page including the line: For more information, see the PPI Manual Aren't I already reading the PPI manual? Where is this manual? Perhaps you mean PPI::Manual? Since the PPI man page is pretty much empty, and its the most obvious place for a user to look for docs, why not remove a level of indirection and make it the manual?
Initially done for similar reasons to Template.pm, it was though that the manual would be very large, and then it would interfere with documenting the function of the PPI.pm module itself. More recently, PPI.pm has become more of a module loader only, with no actual functionality, so it might be time to move the manual back down to PPI.pm
