in thread perldoc POD documentation not working

Thank you. Is there a way I can get a list of changes to Perl between 5.8.8 and 5.20 in one HTML page? Or that at least contains those changes referenced on one HTML page? I'd have to read them all before considering upgrading Perl on this mission critical machine.

      Updated my original post: 'perldoc -T' does work.

      'perldoc perldoc' just gives me the same blank page with a /tmp/ filename at the bottom of the page.

        'man perldoc' must do.

        Your environment seems broken.

        Try to fix the pager, does less work?

        IIRC does perldoc also allow to set its private pager.

        update

        > perldoc will use, in order of preference, the pager defined in PERLDOC_PAGER , MANPAGER , or PAGERbefore trying to find a pager on its own. (MANPAGERis not used if perldoc was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.)
