[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#708173: perldoc: look for .pod in addition to .pm files (patch included)

[Carl Hayter]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Reading Perl module documentation which often has FooBar::Tutorial
type documentation which is in .../FooBar/Tutorial.pod (.pod) files
instead of regular (.pm) files.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

$ perldoc Promises::<TAB><TAB>

   * What was the outcome of this action?

$ perldoc Promises::
Deferred Promise

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

$ perldoc Promises::
Cookbook::ChainingAndPipelining   Cookbook::TIMTOWTDI
Cookbook::ScalaFuturesComparison  Deferred
Cookbook::SynopsisBreakdown       Promise
