Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.36.0-7
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/perlretut.1.gz

These lines with only a NO-BREAK SPACE on them serve no purpose, and
just look funny in e.g., emacs. Also they only occur on this man page.
$ for i in perl perlre perlretut; do man -w $i |
xargs zcat|uni2ascii -q|grep -c ^0x00A0$; done

Emacs should be thanked for detecting it.
