Re^8: perldoc Bold, Italic etc

OK I checked with an old VM image with ubuntu14

something like

> PERLDOCDEBUG=2 perldoc tst.pod
[download]

will show you plenty of details, like the found formatters and nroff binaries.

This might give you a hint how the two systems are differing.

(On a side note: the supposedly italic text was underlined in my terminal)

Life is too short to fret over cosmetics (I retired from programming professionally more than 10 years ago) Anyhoo: the quick-fix is just to create an alias as I mentioned earlier. A little piece of Perly-bandaid and the problem has gone for me. ;-) Thanks so much for the comments & input!	[reply]
