choroba said:

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).

    Wait, doesn't cygwin have a separate package for Perl documentation?

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

      choroba asked yesterday:

      No, I don't think so (and I checked, using the `cygcheck' tool). It has perl-Pod-Perldoc shown below. Maybe you are thinking of many Gnu/Linux distros, where there is a separate Perl documentation package.

      $ cygcheck -i perl-Pod-Perldoc

        And what's this, then?

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