Package: perl Version: 5.20.0-4 Severity: normal The output from perldoc now contains visible escape sequences, e.g.:
$ perldoc perlfaq ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m perlfaq - frequently asked questions about Perl ESC[1mDESCRIPTIONESC[0m The perlfaq comprises several documents that answer the most commonly asked questions about Perl and Perl programming. It's divided by topic into nine major sections outlined in this document. (With the "ESC" in reverse video). If I pipe output through more, it looks correct, e.g.: $ perldoc perlfaq|more NAME perlfaq - frequently asked questions about Perl DESCRIPTION The perlfaq comprises several documents that answer the most commonly asked questions about Perl and Perl programming. It's divided by topic into nine major sections outlined in this document. (with "NAME" and "DESCRIPTION" in bold). I think this start to happen after I upgraded to perl 5.20 - it certainly didn't happen last time I used perldoc.
