Even the simplest invocation, directly from the man page, gives uninitialized value and strict refs errors. [...] The documentation (man Pod::Man) says: SYNOPSIS use Pod::Man; my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8); # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT. $parser->parse_file (\*STDIN); ... The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the POD file to read from. By default, the output is sent to "STDOUT", but this can be changed with the output_fd() method. [...] $ perl -we 'use strict; use Pod::Man; my $p = Pod::Man->new(); $p->parse_file($ARGV[0]);' /usr/share/perl5/Pod/Man.pm Use of uninitialized value in ref-to-glob cast at /usr/share/perl5/Pod/Man.pm line 722. Can't use string ("") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/perl5/Pod/Man.pm line 722. [...] --- Additional comment from ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx on 2012-05-31 07:40:08 GMT --- Pod::Man developer decided do the fix in podlators-2.4.1 (http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/RRA/podlators-2.4.1/ChangeLog). ----- perl-5.14.2-197.fc16.x86_64 in Fedora 16 affected. We should patch the perl or provide podlators-2.4.1 as dual-lived package. -- 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 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
