Blasphemy! ;-) ;-)) No, perl still uses *.pod, but some CPAN modules use perl build facilities to make man pages as well as *.pod docs. I saw this in the "Text-CSV_XS-0.20" module, for example. >> I'd suggest that man changes '::' in a man page to a '/', so >> the man pages can be in subdirs (eg man/cat3/Foo/Bar.3). > >I don't think `man' should dictate to the ported Perl how to rename >these files in the DJGPP port. > >How are these files called in the distributions of DOS and Windows >ports (`:' is invalid on Windows as well)? As I said in my reply to Tim, I submitted changes a few months ago to p5p to make the "::" become "__" under DJGPP. I haven't the facilities to build the other versions that run under DOS/Win, so I can't say what they do. HTH --------------------------------------------------------- Peter J.
