This is a bug report for perl from stoned.elipot@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.12.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Hi,

Perl's 5.12.1 Policy_sh.SH script handles a bunch of
configuration variables related to installation directories.

A foor loop is used to go through them.

The loop's words list reads:
... html3dir ... siteman1dir siteman3dir sitehtml1dir sitehtml3dir ...
vendorman1dir vendorman3dir vendorhtml1dir vendorhtml3dir

But the loop's body seems to be handling, kindof respectively:

htm31dir siteman1 siteman3 sitehtml1 sitehtm31dir vendorman1 vendorman3
vendorhtml1 vendorhtm3

Also the body seems to be handling man1ext and man3ext which are
not in the loop's words list.

AFAICT pastos and typos could explain these discrepancies.

Best regards, Stoned.
