Looks like, perldoc pager adds the temporary file as last argument, but
you told Vim to read the file from standard input.
You should make a script out of it, e.g. something like this:
#!/bin/sh
col -b -x <$1|vim -R -c 'set ft=man' -
Or try to use this one liner (not sure, this works everywhere):
export PERLDOC_PAGER="sh -c \"col -b -x| vim -R -c 'set ft=man' - \" <"
