Hi Reini

Sorry I only saw your mail today.

Is that really needed ?

For example, lets take the man page

 o /usr/share/man/man3/Test.Simple.3pm.gz

For me in cygwin 1.5 and 1.7 the following already displays the right
man page -> Test::Simple(3pm)

 o man 3 Test.Simple

and

 o man 3 Test::Simple

So what's the benefit of your patch ?
    
Ciao
  Volker
