Yep, that's the most likely reason. Now, as long as there's no fix the
affected Windows users, and if you really need --help, we'll have to do
things by hand, until an official fix comes in:
1. Open ...\texmf\scripts\texlive\tlmgr.pl
2. At line 137, replace
if (TeXLive::TLUtils::which("perldoc")) {
pod2usage(-exitstatus => 0, -verbose => 2);
} else {
pod2usage(-exitstatus => 0, -verbose => 2, -noperldoc => 1);
}
with
pod2usage(-exitstatus => 0, -verbose => 2, -noperldoc => 1);
And then, until the next update, you'll be able to use --help. It's not a
nice thing to do, hacking the tlmgr source code like this, but hacking the
tlperl files or removing perldoc feels even worse.
