and get this above error. I have installed the ensembl properly but perldoc is showing error. Can you give your suggestions in resolving this issue? Thanks!

perldoc drops privileges to nobody or equivalent when run as root. If the current directory is not readable as that user, you will get this error, tested on v5.30.3.
