Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->skv Fix synopsis and assign. Responsible Changed From-To: skv->freebsd-ports-bugs skv's ports bit has been taken in for safekeeping Hi Edwin, a search on the net resulted in [1] and [2], which led me to trying $ export LESS="-r" and then try "perldoc Data::Dumper" again. That doesn't show the escape codes with me. I don't know what that means in the end - I don't use perldoc... Best regards, Stefan [1]: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-555915-start-0.html [2]: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-670013.html State Changed From-To: open->feedback Awaiting submitter's feedback. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->stefan Track this while waiting for feedback. Responsible Changed From-To: stefan->edwin Assign to submitter. (I assume this is resolved, though...) FWIW, this fix works for me. I use the "-R" variant in preference, as = that solve the exact problem with perldoc, without affecting other = escape codes less needs to protect. State Changed From-To: feedback->closed lang/perl5.12 removed from ports tree |
When running "perldoc Data::Dumper", I get the following output: ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m Data::Dumper - stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and "eval" ESC[1mSYNOPSISESC[0m use Data::Dumper; Using "PAGER= perldoc Data::Dumper", I get the expected output. Using "man Data::Dumper", I get the expected output.
