Bug #112316 for Pod-Perldoc: perldoc -f sleep incorrectly suggests $SIG{ALARM}

Tue Feb 23 14:26:41 2016 WolfSage [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

perldoc -f sleep incorrectly suggests $SIG{ALARM}

perldoc -f sleep says: eval { local $SIG{ALARM} = sub { die "Alarm!\n" }; sleep; }; die $@ unless $@ eq "Alarm!\n"; But $SIG{ALARM} isn't real! It should be $SIG{ALRM}. PR here: https://github.com/mrallen1/Pod-Perldoc/pull/24/files -- Matthew Horsfall (alh)

As I mentioned in the PR this POD is only for testing - this has to be fixed in an upstream POD release.
