See: > https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86506 I demur. It seems at least as likely to me that the fix lies in rewriting perlop.pod, which is why I tagged it for core documentation. For instance, if the order of the source lines in perlop.pod were changed to: =item tr/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr =item y/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr X<tr> X<y> X<transliterate> X</c> X</d> X</s> then perldoc -f tr and perldoc -f y both produce what appears to be the expected output. -- Peter ScottThread Previous
