Hi there,

Hello


does anybody know why the perldoc output looks so strange on my mac? Here are the first few lines of 'perldoc perldoc'

I have no idea on the strange output but on my linux box some characters are not displayed correctly so for example if I wanted to read about data structures

perldoc -t perldsc

-t Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster, but it probably won't look as nice.

I guess you can try that.

HTH,

Dave
