Ah!  Now it makes sense.  $< is only guaranteed to be set for pattern
rules; many make implementations, including Solaris's, do not set it for
regular rules.  You need to just repeat the name of the POD file in the
build rule, unfortunately.  (Or use a pattern rule, but that can be harder
to do for things like this.)
