Recently there was a request on bug-gnu-emacs for making perldoc to work on .pod files: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2004-02/msg00073.html But suggested addition of ("\\.pod\\'" "perldoc") entry to dired-guess-shell-alist-user will not be useful because the output of this command goes into the "*Shell command*" buffer where it is hardly readable. Instead of this I tried to place point on a .pod file, pressed "N" and at the prompt displayed by the latest patch I typed "perldoc" RET, and the buffer "*Man perlfaq.pod*" came nicely formatted in Man-mode. This is because perldoc actually processes .pod files by a command like "pod2man | nroff -man". This means that reading a command for dired-man from the user is a useful thing. -- http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
