While cutting and pasting an example from a script viewed via perldoc,
the example would not work.
The problem was that perldoc was displaying the pipe chr(124) and a
similar character, chr(226).
I have reviewed the docs on perldoc, but have been unable to get any
method to work so that the pipe symbol is properly displayed.
This is on RH Linux ES 4, 2.6 kernel.
Perl is 5.8.8
Here is a snippet from the displayed documentation:
ps -e -o user --no-headers │ sort -u│
As you can see those are not pipes - |
What might be the reason for this, and a solution to get the | to
display properly?
