Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.10.0-24
Severity: minor

Hi,

many man pages (almost all perl* man pages) are installed in the wrong
section: perlop and friends are installed in section 1 (Executable
programs or shell commands).  They should probably be installed in either
section 7 (Miscellaneous) or section 3 (Library calls).

Regards,
Ansgar
