Subject: perldoc.pod gets installed as Pod::perldoc
After successful moving perldoc.1 manual page to section 1 (change between 3.17 and 3.20), the perldoc.pod accessible with perldoc tool moved from /perldco.pod to /Pod/perldoc.pod. The effect is that `perldoc perldoc' does not work anymore, one has to use `perldoc Pod::perldoc'. Is it desired or acceptable change? ExtUtils::MakeMaker seems to install PODs from non-lib dir under Pod directory always. Maybe the easiest solution would be just not to install perldoc.pod as requested by rejected request <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=7257>. E.g to move perldoc and perldoc.pod from / to /bin in the source tar ball. It's common for scripts not to have a standalone POD accessible with perldoc tool.

Please note that current perldoc usage prints: [...] The -h option prints more help. Also try "perldoc perldoc" to get acquainted with the system. -- Petr

Thanks for the report. I just applied https://github.com/mrallen1/Pod-Perldoc/commit/aa8f2a2b4dee55c0d4a11ee7e3a3cd66afd014b2 and released 3.21 to CPAN. I believe it will fix this problem. Thanks.
