Perl POD problem

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-15 15:11

why would I get output like this:
N^HNA^HAM^HME^HE

instead of
NAME

only the headings are like this, and they look fine in the source
podchecker thinks they are fine.

if it matters:
en_US.UTF-8
urxvt

Try Opera and SICP.

thanks, I'll do that

Backspace-and-repeat is a common method of indicating bold, presumably because that's how you would do it on a real teletype.  man prints the same thing.

I see, that makes some sense. Now the question is how to fix it...

HNA...HAM...HME
It's HMA, not that hard to get. Sheesh.

something to do with MANPAGER=most, maybe

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-15 16:03

export PERLDOC_PAGER="less"

fixes it

thanks for the hint I needed

I should complain to the most devs, I guess

Are you a GAY NIGGER?

If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
