The problem is that on my 10.3 box if I want to have Fink's perl 5.8.4 also installed, then having io-tty-pm581 and io-tty-pm584 (which I made by copying io-tty-pm58) installed will conflict because the man pages are not versioned with the perl version.
Each -pmXXX could put its manpages in a -pmXXX-man splitoff (which all conflict with each other). That way you can concurrently have all -pmXXX, and any *one* set of manpages.
That's a good idea. I could fix up io-tty to use Info2 if nobody minds.
io-tty is a compiled C module, and thus is tied to the version of perl that compiled it. That's essentially the whole reason we have to deal with versioned perl packages in the first place.
Right. Forgot that io-tty had C code in it.
