Neither have I.

I was just practicing the art of building the tool chain and got concerned with that setting.

Juanito:
I'd propose, subject to somebody testing the perl pager, that it is set to "/usr/bin/less" the next time the perl extension is built.

polikuo:
I've been trying to find a way to test this with no luck.
So I'm just posting what I've done here.

While I'm not 100% sure the module I'm using is the one that called less, but the manual is pretty intriguing.

Here are the steps:

--- Code: ---$ tce-load -i compiletc cpanm
$ cd ~
$ rm -fr .cpan .cpanm perl5
$ cpan

  Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically?
  (Press Enter)
  What approach do you want?  (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
  (Press Enter)
    install IO::Pager
    install IO::Pager
    exit

--- End code ---

Note that I have to install the pager twice because the first time always fails.

The procedures may be questionable as I'm inexperienced with perl.

Edit: I can't post the script due to the server error.
The "Pager" looks fine, so I check the PID.
"ps" shows that perl called "less" in a different way.

Juanito:
Recompiled perl5 posted for you to play with  :)
