It might be helpful for the documentation comment for the perl_delete_module_manpages function to mention that module manpages are intentionally removed in order to avoid collisions (as per https://bugs.gentoo.org/119241#c1), and that perldoc should instead be used for accessing module documentation. Opening this bug suggested by u/thesamsame in https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/103yfaw/comment/j34o0a6/: > At the very least, this warrants a comment in the eclass, so please do file a bug anyway, but I think perldoc is likely why, yes.
