Nonetheless, you are expecting other people to know the manpage and read it for you. That is a game you may be able to play with paid support, but usually not even there: They will be more wordy and polite, but in essence tell you to RTFM as well.

Bugs in Perl modules that are documentation related are normal bugreports and patches in the normal patch flow because documentation is embedded as POD within the source code.

Your example is very specific and weird (and maybe not even Perl-related). From which you deduce that it is OK to waste the time of volunteers because once one manpage failed you and you decided to never read any manpages again. You only seem to care about your own time, not anyone else's. That is not how anything works on this planet, either you deal with volunteers, where you have to make them care about your query by being considerate, friendly and respect their time as well as you would like yours respected. Or you are dealing with paid support, in which case you have to make them care by paying them for their time by the hour.
