Hello LanX,

I can confirm that is buggy in 5.24 strawberry.. 

io@COMP:c>perldoc -V
Perldoc v3.27, under perl v5.024001 for MSWin32

io@COMP:c>perldoc -f seek
Parametro non valido - -R

[download]

It runs ok in 5.28 

io@COMP:C>perldoc -V
Perldoc v3.2801, under perl v5.028001 for MSWin32

io@COMP:C>perldoc -f seek
    seek FILEHANDLE,POSITION,WHENCE
[...]

Strange I never noticed: I use it.. but probably I never noticed because I use the ancient Jenda's macro everytime since 2010 ;) dunno if you was refering to this one..

pdoc=perldoc -o html -T -w index $* > %TEMP%\perldoc_temp.html && start %TEMP%\perldoc_temp.html

Windows macros are ridicule things and do you need to reload the file (if you have them in file) everytime to have them applied. You can modify the link to your cmd.exe to use doskey with the above macro specified or a file to read.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
