As someone who often reads perl documentation I'll mention my opinion. I personally use `perldoc` and not `man` due to that working on the different platforms where I use perl, so I don't mind it moving to the end at all. I also find that pod2man (or pod2mdoc or whatever it uses) isn't particularly good, so the quality I get for perl documentation from `perldoc` is better than from `man`. (yet another project I don't have time for). I think that the OpenBSD re(4) is probably what more people would expect when they ask for `man re`, not perl docs. l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com The power!!!! The nightmares!!!!
