'perldoc perldoc' just gives me the same blank page with a /tmp/ filename at the bottom of the page. Perl 5.8.8 on Redhat Linux RHEL 5.5.56 (64-bit)	[reply]

'man perldoc' must do. Your environment seems broken. Try to fix the pager, does less work? IIRC does perldoc also allow to set its private pager. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)} update > `perldoc` will use, in order of preference, the pager defined in PERLDOC_PAGER , MANPAGER , or PAGERbefore trying to find a pager on its own. (MANPAGERis not used if perldoc was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.)	[reply]

Got it. Doing in my .cshrc 'setenv PAGER /bin/more' didn't work. But doing in my .cshrc 'setenv PERLDOC_PAGER /bin/more' did work. Thanks! Perl 5.8.8 on Redhat Linux RHEL 5.5.56 (64-bit)	[reply]

doing 'set PERLDOC_PAGER=more' at the csh command prompt gives me the same blank screen. doing 'set PERLDOC_PAGER=less' also gives me the same blank screen. Perl 5.8.8 on Redhat Linux RHEL 5.5.56 (64-bit)	[reply]
