in reply to Perldoc output differences

Things change between releases. In this case, the difference is probably that perldoc has been re-written and now comes from the Pod::Perldoc package. Indeed, here's all of perldoc:

#!/usr/bin/perl eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if 0; # This "perldoc" file was generated by "perldoc.PL" require 5; use Pod::Perldoc; BEGIN { $^W = 1 if $ENV{'PERLDOCDEBUG'} } exit( Pod::Perldoc->run() );

If you have a problem, you can send a bug report to the maintainer (hopefully with a patch). Good luck :)
