Re: [Bug-wget] [bug-wget] pod problems when compiling, with perl 5.18

[Tim Rühsen]

A similar problem has been reported for other software as well for Gentoo and 
Redhat.

You can edit wget.texi and change all e.g. '@item <number>' into '@item 
<string>. I can't test it right here since perl 5.18 is still in experimental 
and has some dependancy problems right now.

So, this is just an example patch, that should correct the issues with perl 
numbers. Not shure how e.g. @item '1' would appear in the man page, so I take 
@item 1..
