Not really a problem with perldoc, try:
export LESS=R

The same effect can be achieved with perldoc -t.

This is textmode only, yep.


However, the color highlights are gone, so fixing this
might be worthwhile.

You get highlightingsd when you set LESS=R in your environment.


So what to fix? It is a feature, not a bug.
