i don't see any difference between perl docs and php docs or python docs. do you really think that every debian package that uses php or python should recommend installing php or python manual or any package written in c and that utilizes c library should recommend installing section of 3 man pages? to me this kind of waste of network bandwidth and disk space is unacceptable. if perl maintainers don't want to change status of perl-doc, the another option would be that debian installer would BY DEFAULT not install any recommended packages. -- juha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
