I don't get any color highlighting when I use LESS=R,

highlighting to begin with.  Does anyone here get
color in the terminal for, say, perldoc CPAN?  As it
is, I am using man for everything except perldoc -f.


perldoc works fine, has full highlighting/bolding support but you have
to configure less to show the escape codes.  Try "export LESS=-R".  Not
just R.  There is a minus in front of it.  Just like it says in the
README.

I see no difference in using LESS=R instead of LESS=-R, works fine anyway.
