- CPAN#81059: [RT #115534]: Pod::Usage Failes to Select -sections with Negation
fixed a specific corner case for section selection
- CPAN#101538: Pod::Usage doesn't handle E<copy> correctly
introduced a utf8 option; this may actually not solve the problem, but
it is the best we can do for the moment
- CPAN#101581: pod2usage() -sections omits marked-up text from =head lines
make sure that marked-up text is not skipped

- CPAN#93170: Abstract in pod doesn't follow convention
fixed the NAME section
- CPAN#86932: documentation does not work with use strict
rewritten parts of the DESCRIPTION section
- CPAN#86776: "pod2usage -verbose 2 FILE" is broken when perldoc is missing
verified that pod2usage acts decently if perldoc is missing
note: a Perl installation without perldoc is like a haunted house
without ghosts

Patches provided by rjbs - many thanks!
- These commits update Pod::Usage to only use Pod::Simple, so that any
reliance on Pod::Parser is removed, making it easier to remove Pod::Parser
from core.
- [PATCH 1/4] update Makefile: strict, INSTALLDIR, 5.6
- [PATCH 2/4] we will start to require perl 5.6 from here on out
- [PATCH 3/4] always use Pod::Text as default base class
- [PATCH 4/4] eliminate the branch in which Pod::Parser would be used
This commit is intended entirely to free Pod::Usage from any reliance on
Pod::Parser.
* Usage.pm now defaults to using Pod::Text, rather than checking $] to pick.
* $Pod::Select::MAX_HEADING_LEVEL is replaced with a local var
* &Pod::Select::_compile_section_spec is copied into this module
This isn't the most elegant fix, but it's a bit of a ball of mud. The code
is written to let you alter @ISA at runtime to something that is derived
either from Pod::Parser or Pod::Simple. This should probably be more
explicitly limited to Pod::Simple in future releases.
