This is a bug report for perl from lmai@mytum.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.1.

Greetings!

perldoc -l Module is documented as `Display only the name of the
module found.' However, perldoc -l POSIX prints `[...]/POSIX.pod',
which is the name of the documentation, not the module.

perldoc -l Pod::Perldoc prints `No documentation found for
"Pod::Perldoc".' This is correct (Pod/Perldoc.pm doesn't contain
POD) but irrelevant as perldoc -l should print the location of the
module regardless of embedded docs. 

HTH,
Lukas Mai
