The reason that modules manual pages have distinct extensions is to prevent filename collisions between CORE and vendo, since they share the same manual directory. man-db fortunately has a mechanism to select the correct page for a section: "man Foo", or "man 3 Foo" will present the first of 3pm or 3perl which it finds. Sadly, the shell has no such selection mechanism, so even if you do use different extensions for section 1 pages, you will still get a collision on the script. http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fcorelist Is this not going to cause some large measure of grief when either of perl or libmodule-corelist-perl upgrades? > If a newer pod2man is going to be in a separate package (see the > debian-perl thread), this is going to become a bit more important than > just the libmodule-corelist-perl issue.
