Having recently installed Linux Mandrake 10.1 onto a very cheap ex-M$
XP system I had purchased a couple of years ago to give myself
Internet access over Christmas and Hogmanay, I was quite surprised
to see that 'perldoc' was not installed.
Perhaps it was just the version of Mandrake I had... or are the
Linux distros starting to mess around with even more meddling in
what should be straight-forward and full installations? [OT]
This is not an idle thought - it may just be possible that many
people do not have working 'perldoc perlX' on their system, although
'man perlX' works, albeit not for modules.
[OT] Off-topic rant. Why cannot the newer linux distros be content
to let standards remain standards.
I don't want to waste more than half-an-hour figuring out how to
disable vim perl language specific plugins which make it impossible
to cut-and-paste. Maybe good to have them... if and only if I want
them.
Nor do I do not want my rm, cp, mv commands aliased to anything else in
any way, least of all in such a way that I have to waste time
finding where they are aliased and then disabling that.
