[tex-live] bug(?) of tlmgr

    until an official fix comes in:

We believe the best fix is to download the file
  http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlperl/bin/perldoc.bat
and put it into the corresponding place in your install hierarchy, that is,
  c:/whatever/texmf/tlpkg/tlperl/bin/perldoc.bat

This should work around the problem of the weird x: drive thingy when
ActivePerl (or whatever perl) is installed, since then the --help
function will find our perldoc instead.

Windows experts, please correct/elucidate.  I'll add the above to
tug.org/texlive/windows.html when we know for sure.
