in reply to Pod does not render correct by verbose 2

I am not able to reproduce that behavior on my computer. Are you using a recent version of Perl (perl -v)? I tried it on 5.16 and 5.22.

What do you get when you try this?

perldoc perlmonks.pl

It should behave like verbose 2 (it should use a pager).

    In my old debian 4 (etch) I've look to ENV, but nothing for PERLDOC is set, and I'm nothing set after install my new system (debian 9.4 stretch).
    I've only install perdoc on debian 9.4 from mirror, not from CPAN.

    The perl versin on stretch:
