This is a bug report for perl from p.boven@sara.nl,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.7.


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

In the perlfunc.pod documentation of the 'stat' function, there
is a typo in the list of File Types. S_ISCHR does not exist, it should be
S_IFCHR. This typo is still present in the current rsynced sources of the 
perl5 dev-tree.
Suggested patch (against 5.9.3):
