There's no nroff on MPE.  There is however a groff which is part of the GNU
stuff available from jazz.  I don't know if groff is upward compatible with
nroff.

You can do "perldoc -n groff", but then you get Postscript output.  I don't
know enough about groff to know how you would change this.

An alternative that doesn't require nroff/groff is to do "perldoc -t" which
will result in decent plaintext ASCII output.

Looks like you're either trying to run perldoc directly from the CI, or if from
the shell, your /etc/profile or logon .profile isn't doing "export
TERM=hp2392a", or possibly your /usr/lib/terminfo directory tree has
permissions that are too restrictive.
