No, he's talking about perllocal.pod, as he said.

Unix does this when you install a module - updates a file called 
"perllocal.pod" to list what modules were recently installed/updated 
locally. 

the output it contains looks somewhat like this: 

       Tue Apr 24 12:44:41 2001: Module the Class::Multimethods
       manpage

       o   installed into:
           /home1/users/sgodin/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl

       o   LINKTYPE: dynamic

       o   VERSION: 1.70

       o   EXE_FILES:

       Tue Apr 24 12:45:44 2001: Module the
       Quantum::Superpositions manpage

       o   installed into:
           /home1/users/sgodin/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl

       o   LINKTYPE: dynamic

       o   VERSION: 1.03

       o   EXE_FILES:

poking around -- I haven't noticed this anywhere so I'm pretty sure it 
does not. Chris?
