Bug ID: 1329059 Summary: Don't produce terminal control sequences in perldoc Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: perl-Pod-Perldoc Keywords: FutureFeature, Reopened Assignee: ppisar@redhat.com Reporter: praiskup@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org, hhorak@redhat.com, jmlich83@gmail.com, mmaslano@redhat.com, perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, ppisar@redhat.com, ToddAndMargo@zoho.com Depends On: 1258741
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1258741 +++
Short summary, command 'PAGER=less perldoc perlreref' behaves oddly.
The issue is that perldoc *always* produces some terminal (color?) sequences, and less (by default) is careful to escape terminal sequences rather then printing them in a raw form.
This bug is here to ask whether it is possible (or makes sense) to not produce terminal sequences in perldoc output. Or simply request for brainstorm.
See the original bug report for more info.
