Will these go in > ++DOC ... ++/DOC sections? Jerry mentioned in IRC that he intends on documenting the metasyntax options more. I'm guessing this is sort of a special meta argument given perldoc's modes, so it should probably be documented there. I would like to raise the question of whether implementations must be required to fully parse/present perldoc or just recognize it's presence. This would allow for POD "fluffers" like pod2html and for streamlined perl6 implementations to skip things like --doc. -Jason "s1n" Switzer
