in thread Some [doc://] tags need update.

Looks like another update is in order for [doc://fc] fc -> http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/fc.html

OTOH, sort goes to perlfunc/sort and sort.pm goes to 404 not http://perldoc.perl.org/sort.html, i think sort.pm could be used to stay out of functions without breaking existing links :)

    I'm sorry for dragging my feet so long, but this has been fixed now. Well, the part where [doc://fc] did not point to the function fc.

    I always have the same problem with [doc://open] → open versus [mod://open] → open, but no way to link to http://perldoc.perl.org/open.html (or is there?)

      I think you mean [doc://open], which links to open on perldoc vs. [open], which links to the local site, with a pointer to perldoc.

        Not really. The point is I haven't found a way to link (by a shortcut) to the documentation of the open pragma at perldoc.perl.org, I can only link to its documentation at cpan.

        I suggest [doc://open.pm] look for a pragma, like it does now but with the wrong filename (open.pm -> http://perldoc.perl.org/open.pm.html), all it has to do is drop the .pm -- trivial change that allows disambiguation, making doc:// better shortcut, because function names can't have dots in them or pms

        heah, the pm part of .pm shouldn't be needed for disambiguation, the dot should be enough
