Summary | 0000291: No usable documentation for Perl 5.1.0 | ||||
Description | After installing Perl 5.10.0 from perl5100.wpi, there was no usable documentation. The old perl.inf was not installed, OS/2 does not have a man command and the output from Perldoc has the problem described in issue 235. | ||||
Additional Information | I couldn't invoke Perldoc as documented; I had to exploicitly invoke Perl. I didn't try adding an extproc line, since Perldoc doesn't have a cmd extension. | ||||

I can now explain why pod2ipf.cmd is unusable. In Perl 5.8, the POD documentation for foo::bar with description baz included the POD text =head1 NAME foo::bar - baz In 5.10 it's just =head1 NAME foo::bar The code in pod2ipf requires that the description be present. |
|
At this point in time I have a version of pod2ipf that will handle a missing file without terminating. It still has half a dozen bugs that I'm trying to track down. |
|
I can't test anything in Perl 5.14.2 until 0000515 is resolved. Meanwhile I have an updated pod2ipf.cmd from Ilya, which is not in CPAN. |

Note also that the wpi is NOT from me |
