Subject:	[RT #118633] Output of perldoc -f tr is truncated

This bug was originally reported in the Perl 5 bug queue at https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=118633. Because Pod-Perldoc is listed in Porting/Maintainers.pl as being primarily maintained on CPAN, I am moving the report into this queue. --jkeenan ########## % perldoc -f tr Quote and Quote-like Operators [...] tr/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr % It should have kept going and displayed the documentation for tr|y. It stopped because it reached the =item line for y/// in this extract from perlop.pod: =item tr/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr X<tr> X<y> X<transliterate> X</c> X</d> X</s> =item y/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr Not sure what the best fix would be here.

I refactored the code in search_perlop as d8b23dc which appears to correct this problem. Needs more testing on perls that are older than 5.18 though.
