| Subject: | perldoc can't find scripts on Windows |
perldoc can't find scripts pod2man, etc on MSWin32 because they have a '.bat' extension. For example, I have 'PERLDOC=-n groff', and when I run `perldoc perl` I get:
Error while formatting with Pod::Perldoc::ToMan:
Can't find a pod2man?! (pod2man)
Aborting at X:\home\Administrator\projects\working\Pod-Perldoc-3.14\lib/Pod/Perl
doc/Toman.pm line 59.
setting:
$pod2man .= '.bat' if Pod::Perldoc::IS_MSWin32;
fixes it. I don't know if this is the right fix. I usually would try first for $pod2man, then for "$pod2man.bat" on MSWin32. I think it's '.cmd' on OS2, and '.com' on VMS? Also there may be other occurences; I haven't looked.
Thanks
