Bug#687400: libset-intspan-perl: documentation seriously misleading

[Nicholas Bamber]

Package: libset-intspan-perl
Version: 1.16-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

If you look at the man page you find lots of methods surounded by double
quotes. It is very hard to know what this might mean.

Things are however clearer of the CPAN web page where these quotes do not
appear. But then you have a different poroblem.

If you take the "empty" method for example, the documentation implies
that you should be able to write

 if (empty $set) {
	.....
 }

At the least that would imply that "empty" was exported or exportable which it 
is not. However

 if ($set->empty) {
   ....
 } 


works.
