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.
