Title:
  perldoc completion dies if MANPAGER is set

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  If MANPAGER is set, the perldoc completion tries to launch your pager,
  screwing up your terminal..

  This is because it uses "PAGER=/bin/cat man perl" to pull some
  completions out.  However, MANPAGER and PERLDOC_PAGER both override
  PAGER.

  The enclosed patch fixes this: it just unsets MANPAGER and
  PERLDOC_PAGER when generating the completions so the output goes to
  /bin/cat as intended.
