This problem exists with 'standard' perldoc output a little longer now, about a year or two. Using less -r or export LESS=R does the trick. It was already discussed here and elsewhere. I used to patch the perl sources to use text mode for the perldoc output as it is done on Windows too, but I don't include the patch anymore. Maybe an update of less and the underlying tools would help here more than to fix the symptoms? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Gerrit P.
