Does anyone here get color in the terminal for, say, perldoc CPAN? As it is, I am using man for everything except perldoc -f. perldoc works fine, has full highlighting/bolding support but you have to configure less to show the escape codes. Try "export LESS=-R". Not just R. There is a minus in front of it. Just like it says in the README. I see no difference in using LESS=R instead of LESS=-R, works fine anyway.

However, the color highlights are gone, so fixing this might be worthwhile. You get highlightingsd when you set LESS=R in your environment. So what to fix? It is a feature, not a bug.

So it would seem that man is a better command for reading perl documentation.
