Re: [OT] perldoc typo



Many, many fixes have been done to docs in bleadperl (and some already
found their way to the more recent stable version - 5.8.8). A bug
report (even in docs) is more valuable when an accurate description of
how to reproduce the issue is given (and that includes knowing the
perl version you are using). Chances are that the thing that annoys
you has already been taken care of.

As Tom said, perlbug is one of the most promising ways to go - it
already takes care of including your version info into the bug report.

I found that you meant

perldoc -q filehandle

and the problem is probably at perlfaq5 - but I could not found a
version of Perl with the problem you pointed ("the dash of the arrow
missing").

I would like to inform whoever feels responsible for perldoc that the
output of
perldoc -f filehandle
contains a small typo.
Before anybody says "it does not work" here the the info:
Line 85 should say "$fh = IO::Handle -> new();" i.e. the dash of the
arrow is missing
.
