* no code changes from 3.14_07
* summary of main changes:
- perldoc -v PerlVar
- old -v (Verbosely describe) is now -D
- 'perldoc intro' will find 'perlintro' page
- 'perldoc -L it' can find Italian translations
of documentation (if you have them)
3.14_07 - 2008-05-08
* Pod::Perldoc now has POD
* so does Pod::Perldoc::BaseTo and Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO
3.14_06 - 2008-05-02
* 'perldoc intro' may find 'perlintro' page
(suggested by Gisle Aas)
* -v (Verbosely describe) is now -D
* perldoc -v PerlVar
3.14_05 - 2008-04-22

* 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).
3.14_04 - 2008-04-16
* 'lib' & co. are added to search path if -f Build.PL
in current directory (rt.cpan.org #33941)
* bug fix: 'blib' directories were never searched
because they were tested with -f
3.14_03 - 2007-09-03
* typo fix (#31763 by rgs)
* warning and debugging code added to add_translator()
* the translators now became objects
* POD2::Base (if available) provides language-specific
support for free

$ perldoc -L it perldocpage
retrieves the standard (English) version if it cannot find
the Italian translation.

3.14 - 2004-11-30 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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 '\'.
3.13 - 2004-04-09 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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.
3.12 - 2003-10-21 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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).
3.11 - 2003-10-12 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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.
3.10 - 2003-09-10 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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.
3.09 - 2003-07-24 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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.
3.08 - 2003-01-18 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* Fixed split-related bug in reading $Config{'pager'}.
Thanks to Chip Turner <[email protected]> for pointing it out!
3.07 - 2002-12-01 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* 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).
3.06 - 2002-11-22 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* Made it install to perldoc pand perldoc.pod now.
* Added -V
* Made -U a no-op switch, for legacy.
* Corrected a few minor typoes in the usage messages.
* Updated perldoc.pod to document the switches that were
previously documented only in perldoc -h
* Many thanks to David Hand, Avi Finkel, Iain "Spoon" Truskett,
Conrad Heiney, Casey West, Pete Sergeant, David Dyck, Michael
Schwern, Slaven Rezic, Hugo van der Sanden, and many others for
lots of patient help in working on this.
3.05a - 2002-11-11 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* Corrected the logic that suppresses warnings during require's or
formattings.

3.04a - 2002-11-11 Sean M. Burke [email protected]
* First public release.

3.01 - Sun Nov 10 21:38:09 MST 2002
Sean M. Burke <[email protected]>
Massive refactoring and code-tidying.
Now it's a module(-family)!
Formatter-specific stuff pulled out into Pod::Perldoc::To(Whatever).pm
Added -T, -d, -o, -M, -w.
Added some improved MSWin funk.
2.05 - Sat Oct 12 16:09:00 CEST 2002
Hugo van der Sanden <[email protected]>
Made -U the default, based on patch from Simon Cozens
2.04 - Sun Aug 18 13:27:12 BST 2002
Randy W. Sims <[email protected]>
allow -n to enable nroff under Win32
2.03 - Sun Apr 23 16:56:34 BST 2000
Hugo van der Sanden <[email protected]>
don't die when 'use blib' fails
2.02 - Mon Mar 13 18:03:04 MST 2000
Tom Christiansen <[email protected]>
Added -U insecurity option
2.01 - Sat Mar 11 15:22:33 MST 2000
Tom Christiansen <[email protected]>, querulously.
Security and correctness patches.
What a twisted bit of distasteful spaghetti code.
2.0 - ????

Charles Wilson <[email protected]>

-added -t switch, with pod2text support
1.10 - Thu Nov 9 07:23:47 EST 1995
Kenneth Albanowski <[email protected]>
-added VMS support
-added better error recognition (on no found pages, just exit. On
missing nroff/pod2man, just display raw pod.)
-added recursive/case-insensitive matching (thanks, Andreas). This
slows things down a bit, unfortunately. Give a precise name, and
it'll run faster.
1.01 - Tue May 30 14:47:34 EDT 1995
Andy Dougherty <[email protected]>
-added pod documentation.
-added PATH searching.
-added searching pod/ subdirectory (mainly to pick up perlfunc.pod
and friends.
