In the TERM=linux case /usr/bin/less comes to a conclusion that the file is a binary garbage and asks for permission to spoil a terminal. And indeed the TERM=linux output is not propebly displayed on Linux virtual terminal, an `O' letter hangs after the title. Whether it's a Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm or a terminal database bug I don't know. There were numerous bug reports to Pod-Perldoc CPAN distribution, e.g.: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=120229 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=88204 and that lead to Perl bug: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=131762 that was resolved by patching Pod::Perldoc to use plain text output without ANSI formatting (i.e. Pod::Perldoc::ToText instead of Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm). I'm keen to apply the Perl patch to Fedora <= 28. It will disappear the bold highlighting but it makes the text legible on all terminals. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/T3KHLMAAE5EQUQQ7XYM6JSHOW3BQVJSP/
