A 
  
       pod2usage(-verbose=>2)

call eventually descends to

       my $progpath = File::Spec->catfile($Config{bin}, "perldoc");
       system($progpath, $opts{"-input"});
     
However, I install Perl in my home directory, and $Config{bin}
evaluates to 

       ~/perl/bin

so the system call is

       system("~/perl/bin/perldoc", $opts{"-input"});
          
but system won't resolve `~', so the call fails.
