Perl808: Updating ActiveState perl docs

[mike808@users.sourceforge.net]

Another 808ilicious perl 1-liner for rebuilding ActiveState HTML Perl docs.

For example, after you've added Perl modules using CPAN or manually instead
of through their PPM tool. (PPM should call these automatically).

> perl -MActivePerl::DocTools \
> -e 'ActivePerl::DocTools::UpdateHTML;ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC'

Or, get Pod::Master for a generic solution for systems that don't use
ActiveState, or want to use a different stylesheet.

BTW, ActiveState specifically removes the ability to generate the POD or
docs for these modules from their installation of Perl. Whether or not their
modification to perldoc to do this is a "feature" or not, is debateable.

i.e. perldoc ActivePerl::DocTools returns nothing.
