Since you perhas know Mickeysofts graphical interrupt handler: it is a sort of "autoexec.bat", but not for the machine but for every user.

It is executed when the user logs on and sets certain settings for him automatically.

Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				  Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf(3pm)

NAME
Pod::Perldoc::ToRtf - let Perldoc render Pod as RTF SYNOPSIS
perldoc -o rtf Some::Modulename DESCRIPTION
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Simple::RTF as a formatter class. This is actually a Pod::Simple::RTF subclass, and inherits all its options. You have to have Pod::Simple::RTF installed (from the Pod::Simple dist), or this module won't work. If Perldoc is running under MSWin and uses this class as a formatter, the output will be opened with write.exe or whatever program is specified in the environment variable "RTFREADER". For example, to specify that RTF files should be opened the same as they are when you double-click them, you would do "set RTFREADER=start.exe" in your autoexec.bat. Handy tip: put "set PERLDOC=-ortf" in your autoexec.bat and that will set this class as the default formatter to run when you do "perldoc whatever". SEE ALSO
