The perldoc-webserver-android is a very basic webserver written in perl which implements just the GET method of the HTTP 1.0 protocol and that too in a very incomplete manner. It is geared for one task and one task only: serve out perldoc pages as downloaded from the perldoc website (http://perldoc.perl.org). The genesis of the project was when I discovered that Opera mobile on my Toshiba AC100 would not open perldoc pages from local storage. That is urls of the form 'file:///...' would not open in Opera, while they opened just fine on the build-in android browser. So, spending an evening with Terminal Emulator, Opera mobile, netcat, vim and perl from SL4A on a Toshiba AC100 travelling in a train from Bangalore to Hyderabad for a wedding, I wrote up this webserver to allow me to view perldoc locally. This project is released under the HIRE ME/PAY ME License, the text for which is available in the LICENSE file.
