But yes, you're right, the license text should be in /usr/share/doc/packages/perl, as with many other packages. Regarding the perlgpl man page, it's packaged in perl-doc together with all of the other perl man pages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
