Package: pdl
Version: 1:2.4.2-2
Severity: normal

Bad formatting in '/usr/share/man/man3/PDL::Reduce.3pm.gz'
causes garbage output:

  % whatis PDL::Reduce
  PDL::Reduce (3pm)    - - a *(C`reduce*(C' function for PDL

It's the same bug as:

  #304143 perl-doc: 
  'whatis perlpacktut' garbage: "tutorial on *(C`pack*(C' and *(C`unpack*(C'"
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304143

...see that link for more details, and speculations as to the
cause.


Hope this helps...
