I've been trying to work with links to man pages in Org (using
org-man.el). When I try to create a link to a Perl module in the File
package namespace, however, `org-insert-link' tries to do its same-file
link detection and winds up breaking the link. The result is that the
link
man:File::MimeInfo
gets rewritten to
file::MimeInfo
Naturally, this isn't what I want. Looking at `org-insert-link', it
seems that the problem may be that its same-file link detection is
matching 'file:' at beginning-of-word, which it is in this case. In the
general case for which 'file:' detection is being used, is there a
reason to match against `\<' rather than `^' or `^[[:space:]]*'?
Changing to one of the latter two expressions would, I believe, keep it
From rewriting these links I am trying to create.
Other solutions/workarounds are welcome, of course.
BTW, this is in org-mode 6.12a from Emacs CVS.

Confused by the strange files? I cryptographically sign my messages.
