in reply to perldoc Bold, Italic etc
Try to
or define an alias likeexport PERLDOC=-oterm
Assure, that Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm is installed and accessible. If that does not work, try -oansi instead of -oterm.builtin alias perldoc="perldoc -oterm "
Edit: fixed alias definition taking into account that some distros come with an alias() function.
