There might be an issue with man's formatting. Since I upgraded to RH 8.0, perldoc is acting weird. You see, e.g., the $year element is ESC[4mnotESC[24m simply the last two digits (letters 'ESC' in reverse video), where "not" should just be bold. When ssh_ed into a RH 7.2 box, perldoc works fine; the terminal emulator is xterm in both cases. That's why I suspect formatting, something from the *roff family. (BTW, man works fine for me.)
