Subject: docs claim to do |$PAGER , but actually does $PAGER $tmpfile
This works for manpages: PAGER='sh -c "col -b -x | more"' man man But doing the same with perldoc doesn't: PAGER='sh -c "col -b -x | more"' perldoc perldoc because the output isn't actually piped through $PAGER. One must instead do: PAGER='sh -c "col -b -x | more" <' perldoc perldoc Either the docs need to be updated, or the call to system needs to be replaced with a call to open.

I don't have a fix for this yet, but can you tell me why you use col there and which system you're using? There's some code in ::ToMan that uses that for HPUX. I don't know the various details about different systems handling the input differently.

col is used to strip out ansi escape codes. this allows man pages to be viewed in terminals that are not fully functional, in my case gvim.

The shell redirect is included by default when adding $ENV{PAGER} to the list of pagers perldoc uses. So this should be resolved and will be included in release 3.16.

The issue remains if the user is using $PERLDOC_PAGER instead of $PAGER
