Open SSL Documentation Question


Message 1 in thread

QT's SSL implementation depends on OpenSSL.

I have downloaded openssl from openssl.org and uzipped the tar file.

The Doc folder contains a bunch of files with the .POD suffix.

What application do I need to access/navigate the .POD files?

Thanks

Charley

Pod documents are ususally perls 'Plain Old Documentation'. 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Documentation)
If you have perl installed they can most likely be converted and read 
with pod2text / pod2html / pod2latex.

Apologies for intruding on the QT Interest list with a QT Solutions 
question, but all you guys are so smart and know so much about everything 
like this, I thought I'd try asking here.

Can someone point me in the direction of a utility to read the .POD 
documents that are part of the Open SSL distribution?

TIA,

charley

Perl has all of the utilities like `perldoc` or pod2text or pod2html
other pod2... stuff.

It should be preinstalled on Linux or Mac.


For Windows, you can get Perl from here,

http://www.perl.com/download.csp#win32


Alternatively, you can read them in wordpad as plain text, although this
method may be a little bit cumbersome.
