Subject: bug#58512: Patch to make cperl-perldoc call perldoc case-insensitively
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:34:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOnWdohfUgioDajszCZQyzQW0GxHXkDCjJv7MxDOHXVq=__Xmw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 292 bytes --]

The attached patch calls perldoc with -i, so it is case insensitive. This
is more convenient (the user doesn't have to get the case right), and works
like "man". I find this particularly useful for perl, as many modules and
functions have mixed case in their names.
