Many thanks to all for your replies. The only solution is: perldoc -oman func.pl It's easy enough to create an alias for this. Sounds almost as if perldoc 5.30 now defaults to plain text instead of pod formatting. Glad I now can see my documentation as intended ;-) Here's the plain text I was playing with: #!/usr/bin/perl print "a perl script\n"; __END__ =head1 B<Bold heading> =over 4 =item * I<Italic item> Description of the first argument. =item * I<also Italic> Description of the second argument. =back =cut Thanks again everyone. Cheers!	[reply]
