in thread [SOLVED]: Binary File warning when using POD documentation

After reading through the references you suggested and trying various proposed solutions, I corrected the issue by inserting

export PERLDOC_PAGER="less -isR"
into my ~/.bashrc file. Now I will attempt to mark this as "SOLVED".

    Glad it helped! :)

    Actually perldoc should work out of the box on every *nix OS. And your random results look weird.

    But of course there are plenty of ways to mess up.

    If you are curious to find out, you might consider running tests with -D and PERLDOCDEBUG set to a positiv value
