/usr/share/man/man3/Shell.3 over the perl manpage of the same name.



I put it in 3p, not ideal, but I had no idea what else to do apart
from ignore it.



Compiling lesstif with --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man puts it into the X hierarchy, leaving perl's man page unmolested. Of course, the lesstif page is then only accessible if you specify the path to it.

Good enough for me for the moment (well, until I install X in /usr), but I wonder if it would be better to just sed this out of the list of pages in the Makefile - all it really does is refer people to the X manpage (which seems not to exist).
