While we're at it : I noticed that the module Pod::Functions is used only by splitpod, that is in turn used only by installhtml. (Pod::Functions has a builtin list of all perl functions : it's only useful to split perlfunc into small pieces). But Pod::Functions is under lib/ in the source tree, and that means that it gets installed (by "make install"). This looks like a bug. Should Pod::Functions be moved under pod/ ? (And should it be removed from the untested modules list ?)
