My guess is that in perl 5.10 Pod::Text is version >= 3, (perl -e 'use Pod::Text; print $Pod::Text::VERSION;'), which has been a bug for awhile, since the API changed between versions 2 to 3. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1552208&group_id=612&atid=100612 .
I think I switched distros, and my new distro had an older Pod::Text, so I forgot about this one. Feel free to close that bug report when you've got sufficient good feedback. Thanks! Looks OK on Linux i386 perl 5.8.6 w/ Pod::PlainText 2.02. cheers, Derek Doug Hunt wrote: > Hi all: I've been bugged by a problem in perldl when PDL is compiled > under perl 5.10 which does not allow 'apropos' lookup of functions: > > perldl> ?? dim > Can't locate object method "interpolate" via package "Pod::Text" at > /ops/tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/PDL/Doc/Perldl.pm > > line 152. > > I attach an updated version of Doc/Doc/Perldl.pm which solves this > problem by replacing calls to Pod::Text with Pod::PlainText.
