I think you want *::ToMan there, which is why it defaults to ToTerm. If you set PERLDOCDEBUG, you can watch how it loads and chooses the translator. For me, perldoc does the correct thing. It could possibly warn about a formatter not existing. -- brian d foy <brian.d.foy@gmail.com> http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
