You nailed it, thanks! =)

This -R option is responsible for the problems on windows since the pager "more" can't handle "-R".

commenting out this line (#1941 for me)

#local $ENV{MORE} = defined $ENV{MORE} ? "$ENV{MORE} -R" : "-R";

fixed the win-bug for me.

Apparently this was added to fix unicode problems on linux, ignoring that Win has it's own "more" pager.

For those who wonder how to find Pod::Perldoc in their local installation

 >perldoc -l Pod::Perldoc
C:\Perl_524\lib\Pod\Perldoc.pm
[download]

does the trick, even with corrupt pager options.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
