Re: perli11ndoc: an interactive documentation viewer

Hi Torsten, all,

I just pushed a commit to Glib::Object::Introspection that adds
perli11ndoc, an interactive documentation viewer based on installed
*.gir files.  It gets installed into <prefix>/bin automatically.

It requires XML::LibXML.

It has a GUI mode that is used when no arguments are given and when a
display and Gtk3 are available.  A text-only mode is used otherwise.

Please try it out.  Comments and patches welcome.

  I'm probably not familiar enough with the infrastructure for all this, so I hope the following information is useful rather than just annoying.

  I attempted "cpanm -S Glib::Object::Introspection" and it failed, suggesting to peruse the resulting build.log which is reproduced below:

the following is from .../build.log
