I just realised that the only reason we have utils/pod2man.pl was to make it simple for sites that had older versions that didn't process the L<...|...> construct properly.
It seems to me that we could simply remove utils/pod2man.pl and have Makefile.org use whatever is installed on the current system. This will require the administrator to have a new enough version of Perl installed, but should be worth it to avoid this kind of problem. Comments?
