Funny you should mention that. I've been slowly working through the
rewrite of YACSmoke. One of the aspects that I've been thinking
about is
having CPAN Testers run the often disputed "pod.t" and "podcover.t"
type
tests.
Yecch! I particularly dislike the pod.t and podcover.t tests. I
specifically do not include them as default selections in
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.
I can appreciate that podcover.t might not be appropriate, but the pod.t
would be. Having well formed POD as documentation is standard good
practice, or at least it should be.
The Number-Phone distribution has well-formed POD AFAIK. But just you
try to test that using the usual tools. The several lines of binary
gibberish beginning with = in Number::Phone::UK::Data's __DATA__ section
break them badly.
I've looked at fixing the tools, but got bogged down in figuring out
whether /^__DATA__/ really was __DATA__ or just someone being awkward
with quoted text.
