in thread NEW [doc://perldoc#deeplink] works now with all perldocs

G'day Rolf,

I don't know if you've made several typos or if there's a problem with your patch. Obviously, as you're awaiting approval for the patch, I can't test it.

You posted four links; these three are invalid:

http://perldoc.perl.org/open.pm.html http://perldoc.perl.org/open.pm.html#Implementation-Details http://perldoc.perl.org/B/Deparse.pm.html

In each case, if you remove the '.pm' part, they will be valid.

I think it would also be a good test to show the open function ([doc://open]) resolving to https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/open.html and the open pragma ([doc://open.pm]) resolving to https://perldoc.perl.org/open.html.

Update (additional information): More for completeness than anything else, I'll just add the http: is converted to https: by perldoc.perl.org regardless of whether the link is valid or not.

      Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.

      By the way, I think this is a very good idea: both you and anonymonk got a ++ from me.

      Update: Changed "you got a ++" to "both you and anonymonk got a ++".

        Well I was aware of the problem, but it was anonymous monk who brought it up.

        I'm pondering if stripping .pod .pl should also be done, out of symmetry at least.

        Keeping up with foreign websites is hard.

        Probably we should also reconsider switching to http://perldoc.pl .

        Cheers Rolf
