Description A. Galama 2026-05-09 16:37:07 UTC
$ perldoc perlxs
==> (lesspipe 2.24) append : to filename to view the original pod file
pod2text: unable to format /tmp/c8thTDoxla


All other perldoc pages work.

"man perlxs" works.

"less /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/perlxs.pod" works but also shows the error "==> (lesspipe 2.24) append : to filename to view the original pod file".


Reproducible: Always
