Package: perl Version: 5.24.1~rc3-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
Unfortunately, pod2man from perl 5.24 generates empty man page when pod file begins with =begin pod. This worked fine with perl 5.22 To reproduce: $ wget https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-rakudo/pkg-rakudo.git/plain/docs/running.pod $ pod2man running.pod | nroff -man Only the header and footer are shown Workaround: $ perl -n -i -e 'print unless /=begin pod/' running.pod Then pod2man shows normal output. This behavior causes #839059 (empty man pages delivered by rakudo). Other packages may be affected. In the meantime I'll patch rakudo source to workaround this problem.
