Man pages in general are not tied to a particular shell. You should defer to the set of man pages for your particular version of unix. Like aix, solaris, etc.

pod::perldoc::toman

Pod::Perldoc::ToMan(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				  Pod::Perldoc::ToMan(3pm)

NAME

       Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages

SYNOPSIS

	 perldoc -o man Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man and "groff" for reading Pod pages.

       The following options are supported:  center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

       (Those options are explained in Pod::Man.)

       For example:

	 perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename

CAVEAT

       This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
