If you think this could be helpful, I'd be glad to propose the patch to
Mr. Sean M. Burke, who seems to be the responsible for Pod::Perldoc
maintenance. The patch seems to work on my system but - ehr - that's only
my system :)
This is a bad idea. Where is it going to end? What other patches will
we need to make the -f switch do something its not documented to do,
which is look up things in perlfunc?
Rather than expanding the scope of -f, I've proposed adding a new
switch, -k, for "keyword search", which is based on the X<> indexing
labels in the documentation. See the code at
http://pod-indexing.annocpan.org/pod-indexing-snapshot/lib/ and the web
version at http://pod-indexing.annocpan.org/perldoc-k.cgi?keyword=%26 .
Pod::Index is already on CPAN. Ideally, I'd like my patch to make it to
Pod::Perldoc. However, Sean Burke never seems to reply to my emails...
Cheers,
Ivan
