You can use `perldoc Pod::perldoc'. This is upstream change since version 3.17. I raised a question if this is intended behaviour <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=88898>.
And of course the classic `man perldoc' works.
> I raised a question if this is intended behaviour <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=88898>. Thanks. IMHO if this is intended then the line 'Also try "perldoc perldoc" to get acquainted with the system.' in output of `perldoc' should somehow point to `perldoc Pod::perldoc', `man perldoc' or so.
I configured the current stable perl source (5.18.1) with: ./configure.gnu --prefix=/home/blabla/install and installed it (make install). The following works: For command output: /home/blabla/install/bin/perldoc perldoc For Perl5 module output: /home/blabla/install/bin/perldoc Pod::Perldoc This doesn't work: /home/blabla/install/bin/perldoc Pod::Perldoc No documentation found for "Pod::perldoc". documentation as a Perl Utility perldoc: http://perldoc.perl.org/index-utilities.html <-> http://perldoc.perl.org/perldoc.html documentation as a Perl Module Pod::Perldoc: http://search.cpan.org/~mallen/Pod-Perldoc-3.20/lib/Pod/Perldoc.pm
Sorry: This doesn't work: /home/blabla/install/bin/perldoc Pod::perldoc No documentation found for "Pod::perldoc".
Upstream is not responsive. I will fix this issue by moving perldoc.pod to the root of Perl search path to make restore the `perldoc perldoc' command. F≥19 are affected.

Thanks, with 3.19.01-2 perldoc perldoc works as expected. Should I close the bug now?
