https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739463 Bug ID: 1739463 Summary: perldoc -f '<>' complains about pod errors Product: Fedora Version: 30 Status: NEW Component: perl Assignee: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: iamdexpl@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: caillon+fedoraproject@xxxxxxxxx, iarnell@xxxxxxxxx, jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx, kasal@xxxxxx, mmaslano@xxxxxxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, psabata@xxxxxxxxxx, rhughes@xxxxxxxxxx, sandmann@xxxxxxxxxx, tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: the output of `perldoc -f '<>'` is garbled with pod errors at the end [1]. Also, there's more text than probably should be [2]. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-interpreter-5.28.2-438.fc30.x86_64 (also see [2]) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. perldoc -f '<>' 2. scroll to the end Actual results: see below [1] POD ERRORS Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below: Around line 259: You forgot a '=back' before '=head2' Around line 482: =back without =over [2] Besides pod errors, there's some extra text beginning with "Constant Folding" and ending with Here is a short, but incomplete summary: Math::String treat string sequences like numbers Math::FixedPrecision calculate with a fixed precision Math::Currency for currency calculations Bit::Vector manipulate bit vectors fast (uses C) Math::BigIntFast Bit::Vector wrapper for big numbers Math::Pari provides access to the Pari C library Math::Cephes uses the external Cephes C library (no big numbers) Math::Cephes::Fraction fractions via the Cephes library Math::GMP another one using an external C library Math::GMPz an alternative interface to libgmp's big ints Math::GMPq an interface to libgmp's fraction numbers Math::GMPf an interface to libgmp's floating point numbers Choose wisely. after the actual contents of the requested perldoc section. Also there's no section header at the beginning. The similar issue exists on Windows with Strawberry Perl 5.30.0.1 (hence it's highly likely an upstream bug). On CentOS 7 with perl-5.16.3-292.el7.x86_64 `perldoc -f '<>'` displays what it should without any errors. -- 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
