This is a bug report for perl from matti.linnanvuori@portalify.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

perldoc does not produce any input when given a script with only
=pod and =cut tags and some text between them but prints
"No documentation found for <file>". Adding a =head1 tag
helps.
Example:
perldoc pod.t

=pod

Text

=cut

Please do not change anything below this line]
