[comp.lang.perl] Manpage xref tool

jtc@motcad.portal.com (J.T. Conklin) (02/10/91)

If I remember correctly, someone posted a perl script that checked
the "SEE ALSO" portions of a set of man pages, to see if they were
consistant.

If I'm not imagining the existance of this program, could someone
either mail it to me, or tell me where I can look for it.

Thanks,

You may be thinking of my cfman program.  It's one of the auxiliary tools
in my man package, which you can get via anon FTP from 
    convex:/pub/man.shar.Z 
if you're on the Internet.  My current patchlevel is PL40 on man.  I
haven't done any new work on cfman for a long time.

As was pointed out to me in mail, "convex" is not an Internet address.
Sorry about that.  Try "convex.com" instead, which is 130.168.64.1.  I
will also mail the package to people without internet access.
