This would also be the case for pod2html I imagine.  pod2latex and
pod2html do everything themselves (although pod2html simply uses
Pod::Html). Both would have to be changed. The others (pod2text and
pod2man) use Pod::Parser which is being updated to support C<<...>>
The simplest solution is simply to rewrite pod2latex and pod2html
so that they use Pod::Parser.  To put my money where my mouth is I have
two  modules, Pod::LaTex and a Pod::Html replacement, that do use
Pod::Parser and would therefore support this once Pod::Parser supports
it.

I am new to p5p so I am not sure what the feeling is about updating these
two commands -- I assume replacing these is not going to happen before the
release of perl5.6 (time is too short to test changes such as these
adequately before that release) but I would be happy to either put them on
CPAN (named as Pod::LaTex and Pod::Html??) or submit them to the PodParser
package so that people can test them (or hold back and submit them to the
perl5.7 development) if there is a demand for that.
