Can you find the file perldiag.pod anywhere else?

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    I tried out my shell-fu as follows (yes, admittedly, when it's something shellish that takes me a couple minutes to work out, I like to show off ;-):

    $ perl -e'print $_."\0" for @INC' | find  -files0-from - -type f -name perldiag.pod

    The result is no file found with that name. Thanks for your interest, choroba, and this was a good thing to check. Why that file would be missing? Not a clue, right?

      I meant finding it outside the @INC. Using find / or locate (not sure whether it exists on cygwin, though).

        Oh, ok. Sure, if it was in @INC we should not be seeing the error. It is not there on my system under any path. Possibly a packaging error by someone in the cygwin project? BTW, cygwin does have locate.

        On my Gnu/Linux box it is located at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.40.0/pod/perldiag.pod (and at /usr/share/perl/5.28.1/pod/perldiag.pod).
