      Yes there is, you're not looking at the file they linked to, which reads:

          || ($Is_MSWin32 && "notepad")

        I know. It's in the Perl script named perlbug, not in the man page perldoc perlbug. I already acknowledged this.

        If one posts a very laconic response to another post on PerlMonks, especially a non sequitur, one is more apt to cause needless confusion than to make a helpful point. To me, the instruction to "See perlbug" meant to type perldoc perlbug at the command prompt, which is what I did. I was confused by what I'd been told to do.
