So you need "/usr/bin/perldoc" ? If yes, maybe you could simply use "pod2man | nroff -man" just like perldoc does ? The difference being that you have to know where the POD documentation is. > He probably means that aptitude installs recommended packages, and we > should add it to suggests. > > Or am I wrong? Well, it's your choice... but I dislike when I don't understand why the package is recommended. So I'd ask your to document in the README.Debian what feature is enabled with the presense of perl-doc. That way, the admin can remove/install the recommended package knowing what it changes...
