Thanks! :) It should load Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm, could you please check if an explicit `-oterm` loads it? If it's available, I can't tell from this output why it's not chosen. (apart from the missing commas) probably comparing the ENV variables sheds some light. I'd also play with setting PERLDOCDEBUG > Having PERLDOCDEBUG set to a positive integer will make perldoc emit even more descriptive output than the -D switch does; the higher the number, the more it emits. If this doesn't give a clue I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]

If I run `perldoc -oterm junk2` all I get is as below, with "ESC" in Inverse color (ie: not rendered graphically) `ESC[1mESC[1mBold headingESC[0mESC[0m * ESC[4mItalic itemESC[0m Description of the first argument. * ESC[4malso ItalicESC[0m Description of the second argument. /tmp/cXitYT435j (END)` [download] As I said, only perldoc -oman junk2 actually renders the Bold, italic etc.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

My guess is that you have another terminal now which isn't enabled to render escape sequences. But it's still guessing, not enough infos to tell and I don't have a Linux at hand to check Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
