Summary: [PATCH] Parrot Configure can't find pod2man and perldoc under
a versiononly perl
Reported by: avarab@gmail.com

Parrot can't find pod2man and perldoc under a versiononly perl. Which
will e.g. be installed by perlbrew.

I have a patch that fixes this in my GitHub fork of Parrot:
http://github.com/avar/parrot/compare/master...configure-versiononly.patch

Note that that may not cover some other bizarre cases. CPANPLUS has
some more tests at the bottom of its Makefile.PL that might be
interesting as reference for further work in this area.

Replying to Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@…>:

Can you explain what you mean by "a versiononly perl"?

Thank you very much.

I don't know what a versiononly perl is, but the attached patch from avar's git repo doesn't cause any new test failures or build issues.
