Some [doc://...] links are broken

while ie [doc://while] doesn't link to while

Not sure what changed, but I'd like to have a look into the code resolving doc links.

Maybe I can patch it.

Spend an hour with the pmdev docs, but couldn't find it.

update

I noticed that the Function Nodelet links to a doc node

http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=doc%3A%2F%2Fmy

But http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=doc%3A%2F%2Fwhile doesn't work either.

I just noticed that http://perldoc.perl.org/index-functions-by-cat.html#Keywords-related-to-control-flow-of-your-perl-program doesn't list `while` and `until` but `goto` and that the latter is linkable: `goto` Looks like the root cause update The former html page seems to be an excerpt from perlfunc#Perl-Functions-by-Category , which also lists Non-function keywords `and , AUTOLOAD , BEGIN , CHECK , cmp , CORE ,__DATA__ , default , DESTROY , else , elseif, elsif , END ,__END__ , eq , for , foreach , ge , given , gt , if , INIT , le , lt , ne , not , or , UNITCHECK , unless ,until , when , while , x , xor` [download] This is unfortunate ... update This seems to be the source of cross references used to resolve while perlfunc#Non-function-Keywords-by-Cross-reference Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

thanks to help from Arunbear++ I was able to identify the node perl keyword list setting (access restricted to pmdevs ) holding a list of valid builtins for doc links. I'll create a patch these days adding some of the missing non-function keywords update After reading Pmdev HowTo Wiki to avoid more broken patches :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
