If I run the following command:

  $ perldoc Getopt::Long

Then I get too printed the nasty control characters, e.g.:

  ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m
         Getopt::Long - Extended processing of command line options

I am not sure if this is related to

  perl                 5.8.0-2

I looked into my environment but there is nothing special. Also the
programs 'man' and 'less' works IMHO fine.
