That code has also been a constant source of bugs and weird issues for years. In podlators 5.00, released yesterday, I dropped nearly all of the troff-only guesswork on the grounds that the minor improvements in formatting for an output format almost no one uses weren't worth the maintenance burden. (I suspect that anyone who wants to print Perl documentation these days would be better-served by using the rendered output of one of the excellent POD to HTML converters.) This bug can therefore be closed once podlators 5.00 is incorporated into the Perl packages in Debian. That may still be a bit, since I'm not sure if it will be pulled into a point release or only the next major release of Perl. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
