in thread What is perldoc -lf doing?

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.

      Hi,

      Its been at least since Pod::Perldoc version 3.15_02 of perl v5.12.0 from 2010-Apr-12

      The Pod::Perldoc test suite has no tests

      As of now nobody has reported this bug rt://Pod-Perldoc

        Reported
        ($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,
        So instead of reporting it yourself you prefer complaining about it?

        Cheers Rolf
