It's broken in several ways, including .deb portability and (in this case) perl functionality relating to filename<->namespace mapping. Perl has fought with this issue for years, and even this specific instance of it. Apparently the .pod is the remnant documentation regarding the actual perl-module fix (maybe there had been a version/Internals.pm that was renamed). See: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2011/06/msg173951.html that mentions the idea of moving the contents of the .pod into the documentation for another module. That thread talks about it being finally fixed by perl5.18ish, I wonder if perl more recent than 5.16.2 has any improvements in this regard. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
