perlfaq is no longer maintained as part of the perl core. It’s still included, but CPAN is now upstream, and it has its own CPAN distribution. I’m forwarding this to the CPAN queue. This change is so recent that yours will be the first bug report there. On Mon Oct 24 16:14:23 2011, wyant wrote: Show quoted text
