| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules. Bugs found in pod2man The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed: 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand, remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod, without breaking links.] 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.] 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'. 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction. 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions."'. Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod modules, when ready, will not have these defects.
