Thanks for all the input on my man problems with Panther (and bash). Here's my final solution. Perhaps it will work for others.
1. I have accepted the /man directory. Why perl module manuals should be
going in there is still unclear to me, but I can live with it. So I
have simply added the line
OPTIONAL_MANPATH /man
to /private/etc/manpath.config.2. In my .bash_profile I have added the line
export PATH
after PATH is constructed. I picked up this idea from the darwinports
README file. It seems to make manpath work. For example my current .bash_profile reads
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/teTex/bin
export PATH
and I expect I may add some more "PATH=$PATH:" lines in the future.Regards,
Vic
