Subject: "perldoc -f size" actually display a section in that are missing in "sprintf"
This might be more or less related to #86506 Comparing the output of `perldoc -f sprint` and `perldoc perlfunc`, 2 sections "size" and "order of arguments" are missing. In fact they are available with command: perldoc -f size perldoc -f 'order of arguments' For a moment I do thought 'size' is a new built-in function and realized this is a bug in perldoc program. ----

Thanks for the report. There have been a number of functions that seem to be broken in the docs for 5.18; it looks like that's due to changes in the doc formatting but there could also be bugs in perldoc too. I will investigate this further.

I committed a fix for this as 1c6f7e32 earlier tonight so sprintf does correctly render now, but perldoc still matches on "size" when it ought not to.

It was related but a bit subtle. Perldoc now tracks list entries/exits in any context not just in a snippet of found POD. Committed as dfefb22. Thanks for the report.
