Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-07-27 20:55:38 UTC
Peter S. Mazinger sent this before but i think people may have been hesitant to accept it because it included some hacks for NDBM (which has been fixed in other bug reports since)

as was described in the original e-mail:
if nroff is not found, the man-pages are not installed (onlx if man[13]dir and man[13]install-dir are installed at configure time. Also make install installs the man pages, so no need for the second make install-man (checked only for 5.8.4)

so find attached a patch to implement these changes (adjusted from his original patch)

i tested on a glibc and uclibc host against perl-5.8.4

would like it if this made it in soonish since on an uclibc system perl dumps all the manpages to the / :)
