3546	Possible inaccurate text on Chapter 6 Perl page	Chris Staub	lfs-book@…	"On the Perl installation page in Chapter 6, the description for the -Dpager switch reads:

 -Dpager=""/usr/bin/less -isR""
    This corrects an error in the way that perldoc invokes the less program.

According to [http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/716 the bug report that suggested the addition of that switch], the main reason for it was to add -R to the less invocation. However, ""less -R"" is now the default for Perl, if it finds a less binary. If less is not found, it will use more instead. Therefore, a better description for the -Dpager option would be that it ensures that less is used instead of more."	task	closed	normal	7.6	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
