Hi

The following error is noticed when I installed either strawberry perl or activestate perl and invoke perldocs:


Invalid parameter - -R

[download]

I tried re installing several times, still the same error. I did google but could not find anything affirmative or a workaround. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?


Update:

Hi,

As given on the strawberry perl site, The perldoc issue is resolved by running the command - cpanm http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/Pod-Perldoc-3.27_patched.tar.gz

I tried the command from my work place and got errors, but came home and tried, it seems to work!! Given below is the output
