PPI seems like a rather heavyweight tool for the job. Since the idea is
to test the POD for boilerplate, you don't have to scan the rest of the
code. Something really simple should suffice, and not fail its own
tests either.
while(<>) {
next unless /^=/../^=cut/;
/A. U. Thor/ && error("Left default author in POD");
/.../ && error(...);
}
