Hi,

I have installed the perl man pages via setup.exe, but they don't work:

$ man perl
No manual entry for perl

It seems they are not there, while setup.exe says I have installed 
perl_manpages version 5.14.2-3.

$ ls /usr/share/man/*/perl*
ls: cannot access /usr/share/man/*/perl*: No such file or directory

Also a reinstall via setup.exe does not help.

regards,

The man pages are there.  See the list of those installed here:

<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=perl_manpages%2Fperl_manpages-5.14.2-3&grep=perl_manpages>

But it does look like there are some key ones missing in 5.14.2 (such
as perl.1).

Oops, blush.
