Subject: Pod::Man L<> of url with dash
Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:11:43 +1100
To: bug-podlators [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>
Pod::Man version 2.25 on an L<> url with a dash in it, =pod L<http://foo-bar.org> produces http://foo\-bar.org <http://foo-bar.org> whereas I hoped it would not double up the output, but instead just <http://foo-bar.org> The single copy is what you get from a url without "-" in it, such as L<http://foobar.org>. I wonder if the "< >" display part would be escaped to \- and maybe all of what format_text() mangles too, <http://foo\-bar.org> \- is the minus sign is it? I expect that would be right for a url. That might let cmd_l() notice "text" and "to" are the same.
This was fixed in podlators 2.4.1 (Pod::Man 2.26), so it should be fixed in Perl 5.17.1 and later.
