It's probably MSWin specific. It doesn't work for me either, not even in blead: `$ perldoc -f == No documentation for perl function '==' found` [download] ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
Re^4: What is perldoc -lf doing? (Regression bug in perldoc) by LanX (Saint) on Aug 06, 2018 at 10:43 UTC
Nope, it's missing on both platforms. `X:\>perldoc -f == No documentation for perl function '==' found X:\>perl -v This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1)` [download] My first working test was with Win/5.16 (later Linux/5.18). Most probably a regression between 5.18 and 5.24, perlop is still showing the entry.

Probably a glitch on console level.(?) I used Windows and you Linux and bash tries to use == for its own syntax.(untested) ( You know Perl was built for UNIX ... Ehm wait... ;) update Nope: works with Ubuntu and Perl 5.18, so probably a bug with newer Perl versions.

Perldoc has been broken for at least 4 years and no one noticed? How does that get past the testers? `perldoc -f ==` works on 5.18 but not 5.20 or higher on osx.	[reply] [d/l]
