This is a bug report for perl from abigail@abigail.be,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl v5.8.9.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]
When reading about 'perlthanks' I used perldoc to read about it.
It turned out that the POD doesn't mention perlthanks. Nor the -T
option. Hence this patch.
