Some POD formatting sequences are not translated into roff sequences. The synopsis section is affected only. F18--17 affected. This is bug in perldoc.pod source:
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-D>] [B<-t>] [B<-u>] [B<-m>] [B<-l>] [B<-F>]
Here the `B<perldoc>...' text is preceded with a literal space which denotes the paragraph a verbatim paragraph where none POD sequences are interpreted.
