It's been a soapbox issue of mine for some years, but I have allies!

I suspect that it depends on which pager Perl thinks you should use. But I don't know for sure, and can't easily test.

Cheers,

Like many lawyers, he's overly fond of argument, even when in agreement. Not that anyone here would be into that...
