Subject: Manpage perlpod and perlpodspec Shadowed by Core Version
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that the manpages perlpod and perlpodspec installed by Pod-Simple-3.05 is installed in INST_MAN3DIR, which is different than the core manpage in INST_MAN1DIR. As a result, there are 2 versions installed onto the system, which the older core version takes precedence. imacat@rinse ~ % ls -l /usr/share/man/man?/perlpod* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29527 2007-03-15 16:20 /usr/share/man/man1/perlpod.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79093 2007-03-15 16:20 /usr/share/man/man1/perlpodspec.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 27349 2007-05-20 16:05 /usr/share/man/man3/perlpod.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 76494 2007-05-20 16:05 /usr/share/man/man3/perlpodspec.3 imacat@rinse ~ % man perlpod | head Reformatting perlpod(1), please wait... /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/tmac/troffrc:48: can't find macro file `big5.tmac' PERLPOD(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLPOD(1) NAME perlpod - the Plain Old Documentation format DESCRIPTION Pod is a simple-to-use markup language used for writing documentation for Perl, Perl programs, and Perl modules. imacat@rinse ~ % I looked into ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but cannot get a simple solution on this. Maybe you can look into this issue? thank you.
I believe this is fixed by Jerry Hedden's patch in #36446.
