Subject: Command line parameter error under windows
Hi. Command "perldoc -f xxx" on windows always return parameter error. On linux works as it should. Please, look at output below: d:\projects\pcore>perldoc -V Perldoc v3.27, under perl v5.024000 for MSWin32 d:\projects\pcore>perldoc -f print Invalid parameter - -R

This is caused by Pod::Perldoc setting $ENV{MORE} = '-R' unconditionally. On Windows, 'more' also reads options from %MORE% and it doesn't understand '-R'. This breaks all of perldoc.

I have released 3.27_02 to CPAN which addresses this problem. Please try that release. If it fixes the issues, I will publish 3.28 "official" Thank you for the reports.
