I would welcome reliable reproducer. To the question: Yes, perldoc has "-t" argument that disables ANSI sequences on the output. I think "perldoc --help" is not so hard way to discover it. I can fairly reproduce it with "perldoc -T perlreref | less". The capital -T prints the output to stdout instead of sending it to a pager. But the perldoc (that I have, the behavior changes with various perldoc versions) feeds the pager from a temporary file. strace shows: [pid 3367] execve("/usr/bin/less", ["less"], ["XDG_VTNR=1", "XDG_SESSION_ID=1", "SSH_AGENT_PID=2103", "HOSTNAME=dhcp-0-146.brq.redhat.c"..., "SHELL=/bin/bash", "TERM=xterm", "HISTSIZE=1000", "TERMPATH=/home/petr/.termcap:/et"..., "WINDOWID=65011747", "QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3", "QTINC=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include", "XORG_RUN_AS_USER_OK=1", "USER=petr", "XTERM_SHELL=/bin/bash", "LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36"..., "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-QUjk3MkTh"..., "PAGER=less", "PATH=/home/petr/bin:/usr/lib64/q"..., "MAIL=/var/spool/mail/petr", "_=/usr/bin/less", "QT_IM_MODULE=xim", "PWD=/home/petr", "XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM", "EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim", "LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8", "MODULEPATH=/etc/scl/modulefiles:"..., "LOADEDMODULES=", "HISTCONTROL=ignoredups", "XTERM_VERSION=XTerm(318)", "XTERM_LOCALE=cs_CZ.UTF-8", "HOME=/home/petr", "XDG_SEAT=seat0", "SHLVL=5", "LESS=-R", "LOGNAME=petr", "CVS_RSH=ssh", "QTLIB=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib", "MODULESHOME=/usr/share/Modules", "LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %"..., "WINDOWPATH=1", "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/500", "DISPLAY=:0.0", "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim", "XAUTHORITY=/home/petr/.Xauthorit"..., "CCACHE_HASHDIR=", "BASH_FUNC_module()=() { eval `/"..., "BASH_FUNC_scl()=() { local CMD="...]) = 0 I suspect perldoc sets LESS=-R. I dont' have the variable in my environment: $ set |grep LESS LESSOPEN='|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s' "perldoc -T perlreref | LESS=-R less" works for me. >From my point of view, perldoc is fine in Fedora. This is issue in RHEL-7's perldoc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
