Hi

I noticed a limitation in the [doc://...] parser for Perl documentation

According to What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?

  • Link directly to a the doc of a function or variable: [doc://name] e.g. [doc://-X|file test ops]
  • Link directly to a specific document by name: [doc://name] e.g. [doc://perlipc]
  • Link to a section internal to a doc: [doc://name#anchor] e.g. [doc://perlfaq2#Perl-Books]

    • but while

    works is failing

    Looks like the automatic detection to add functions/ into the URL is failing because the #anchor part is taken into the check, and there is no "split#split" in the lookup hash.

    I tried to find the responsible code to be able to fix it but couldn't identify it yet.

    Cheers Rolf
