commit b62ad00981ec98fc07fd798a4e6e75c90aad9200
Author: Harald Jörg <haj@posteo.de>
Commit: Harald Jörg <haj@posteo.de>
cperl-mode.el: Make commands and options for Perl info pages obsolete.
The Perl documentation in info format is no longer distributed with Perl,
nor is it available from CPAN. Point to cperl-perldoc instead.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-info-page): Make obsolete.
(cperl-tips): Remove outdated instructions to get Perl info
sources from the docstring.
(cperl-praise): Remove advertising the info interface in the
docstring.
(cperl-mode-map): Replace bindings to `cperl-info-on-command' and
`cperl-info-on-current-command' by `cperl-perldoc'.
(cperl-menu): Remove menu entries pointing to the Perl info page.
(cperl-mode): Remove explanation of the Perl info commands from
the docstring.
(cperl-info-on-command, cperl-info-on-current-command),
(cperl-imenu-info-imenu-search, cperl-imenu-on-info): Declare the
commands obsolete.
* etc/NEWS: Describe the obsoletion of Perl info commands.
