in thread Perl/Tk and exit(0)

Thanks Ken, I'll update the link. Not sure how that happened.

Update: I fixed the links by changing from [perldoc:// to [doc://. I wonder if the behaviour of the former syntax is new, broken, or something I just imagined was different. The links as I originally posted definitely went to a Goog search. Maybe a topic for PM Discussion...

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Unfortunately, I suspect it may be the latter.

    I rarely, if ever, use those shortcuts; however, checking in "What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?", I see (my emphasis added):

    The Perl documentation:

    • Search the Perl docs: [perldoc://search terms]
    • Link directly to a the doc of a function or variable: [doc://name] ...

    There was a change to [doc://name] back in February: "NEW [doc://perldoc#deeplink] works now with all perldocs". I don't recall any recent changes to [perldoc://search terms].

    "Maybe a topic for PM Discussion..."

    Or maybe not. :-)

    Unless you wish to request a typo fix: s/to a the doc/to the doc/

    — Ken

      [perldoc://search term] links to a Google search for the term in perldoc. It doesn't have another choice, in fact, as the current version of perldoc.perl.org (unlike the perldoc.pl) doesn't have a working search.

      BTW, note the "official" documentation still shows 5.30.0, while the "open" documentation site correctly shows the latest 5.30.2.
