Re^4: Perl/Tk and exit(0) [Tk::exit]

"I wonder if the behaviour of the former syntax is new, broken, or something I just imagined was different."

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/

`[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. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
