Description andrew Fabbro 2006-01-16 15:47:11 UTC

dev-perl/DBI (1.48), dev-perl/DBD-Pg (1.43), dev-perl/MailTools (1.67), and presumably other perl ebuilds no longer make man page links.  e.g., for DBI, /usr/share/man/man3/DBI.3pm.gz is not created (and is removed if re-emerging).  This is quite different than previous behaviour, unexpected, and unwanted ;)

My emerge info:

No, this is intentional to avoid tons of collisions; use perldoc instead.
