Hi everyone,
I've noticed that the recent perl update (5.10.1-3) has not installed any PODs which are required by 'perldoc' for displaying documentation. Are PODs moved to some different package ?
#v+ % pacman -Ql perl |fgrep .pod % pacman -Q perl perl 5.10.1-3 #v-
Thanks in advance Ashish SHUKLA
See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16488
But please, "broken" is too strong! Perl is not broken. It's just that because of the purge options in makepkg.conf, all pods have been deleted. But ALL the documentation is still there in the form of manpages.
Apologies if this offended you. Anyways looking forward to an update with PODs included.
Thanks
Ashish, Don't worry, I am not easily offended! ;) The issue is fixed with the version currently in testing (pkgrel = 5). Note that to look up the documentation of the modules bundled with perl, you need to use man instead of perldoc. Arch's policy is to exclude the pod files with CPAN-based packages, since they are already duplicated as man pages. Best regards, F
