of documentation (if you have them)

- Applied patch to allow -A for searching perlvar.
(after a patch by Ovid, 2008-02-26)
[rt.cpan.org #33624]
- [RFC] the switch name is experimental: I am open
to convincing alternatives (other than -v and -V
which are already taken).
2008-04-16
- Development release 3.14_04
- 'lib' & co. are added to search path if -f Build.PL
in current directory (rt.cpan.org #33941)

because they were tested with -f

- Release 3.14 -- bugfix for Cygwin
- Matt Johnson sends in two patches to accomodate Cygwin.
Accepted.
- Also changing pathsep for IS_MSWin32 || IS_Dos temp files
from '/' to '\'.
2004-04-09 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.13 -- minor bugfixes
Ken Willians notes that Pod::Perldoc::ToMan breaks when the
pod2man program isn't in $Config{'scriptdirexp'}. So I make it
look there first, but then fall back to not specifying where it
should be found.
James Michael Du Pont notes that Carp::croak isn't always loaded
by all versions of the modules perldoc uses. So I add an explicit
"require Carp::croak".
I add t/01_about_verbose.t just to give more diagnostics.
2003-10-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.12 -- tweak for Linux man.
Slaven Rezic notes that Makefile.PL should say INSTALLDIRS => "perl"
for perl versions 5.8.1 and newer, to make installation work right
on those perls. Change made.
Slaven Rezic notes that -q was generating an erroneous =over 8 ...
around the sliced text from perlfaq searched via -q. Change made
-- this =over 8 ... =back stuff is now generated only if you're
calling perldoc with -f (for perlfunc sections).
2003-10-12 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.11 -- tweak for Linux man.
Brendan O'Dea provides code for Pod/Perldoc/ToMan.pm to sets -rLL
to what stty reports for terminal column width.
2003-09-10 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.10 -- bugfix for cygwin
Jari Aalto notes a problem with cygwin and the containspod routine
-- cygwin apparently pretends there's an executable $filename file
when there's really a "$filename.exe" file. Added a
cygwin-specific hack in containspod to trap this case.
2003-07-24 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
Notable changes:
- perldoc when run as root no longer dies when it can't manage to
drop privileges. This is by popular demand.
- perldoc -f -X now properly sees an -X entry regardless of
whether it's coded as =item -X or =item I<-X>.
- In README, changed "This is an experimental distribution of
Perldoc," to "This is the distribution of Perldoc,"
Wee little things:
- Added a "use 5.006;" to the start of Perldoc.pm and the
Makefile.PL, since we do actually need that version of perl
for the module to even compile right. (Altho backporting is an
option later, if we remove the 5.6-isms.)
- Perldoc.pm has a new constant IS_Cygwin if we ever need it.
- Added a bit of IS_VMS logic.
- Minor cosmetic changes to handling of -U.
- Added a few comments here and there.
2003-01-18 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.08.
- Fixed split-related bug in reading $Config{'pager'}.
Thanks to Chip Turner <cturner@redhat.com> for pointing it out!
2002-12-01 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.07.
- Minor typo fix to code in Pod::Perldoc::ToMan.
- Added RTFREADER example to Pod::Perldoc::ToRTF docs.
- Made Pod::Perldoc::ToTk a bit more tolerant of old Tk::Pod
versions (pre-4.0).
2002-11-22 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
- Release 3.06.
- Made it install to perldoc pand perldoc.pod now.
- Added -V

previously documented only in perldoc -h
