I waiting for thumbs-up from Pod::Perldoc maintainers about becoming yet another maintainer for this module as well.
For reference, I released development releases 3.14_01 and 3.14_02 to CPAN (which were marked UNAUTHORIZED) because I don't have credentials for official releases yet. 3.14_01 - applies the bleedperl changes that separate the current CPAN version (3.14) and the code released with 5.9.5 and which is going to be shipped with 5.10 3.14_02 - makes -L more forgiving (according to the message and patch below, just sent to perl5-porters) Any comments will be welcome. Regards, Adriano Ferreira ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Adriano Ferreira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Aug 23, 2007 3:37 PM Subject: [PATCH] lib/Pod/Perldoc.pm - make -L more forgiving To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The recently introduced switch -L started an effort to support for reading Perl documentation in other languages but English via the standard utility "perldoc". The CPAN related projects that are more advanced are POD2::IT and POD2::FR (respectively, the Italian and the French translation). The patch that introduced the switch " -L language_code " took care of ignoring the option if the corresponding module was not installed. But (after installed) $ perldoc -L it perlintro works because there is a translated perlintro.pod, while $ perldoc -L it perldoc does not. I don't think the following message No documentation found for "POD2::IT::perldoc". is what users expect. To tell the truth, if they typed that, they expected the Italian translation of perldoc.pod (which is not ready yet), but I think falling back to the standard (English) page is more useful. The attached patch implements just this. Regards, Adriano Ferreira
