Converting the documentation with pod2man -u (in addition to either adding the =encoding line or using the latest and greatest Pod::Simple, which I think defaults to UTF-8 now) will do the right thing on Debian. I've not made that the default upstream pod2man behavior because I'm still paranoid about distributed man pages with raw UTF-8, which are known to cause severe heartburn for ancient Solaris nroff (for example). But it's probably time to bite the bullet and make UTF-8 output the default in the next major release of podlators. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
