Getting rid of the "the ... manpage" thing is on my list of changes to make in the next version of pod2man and pod2text. I'm not sure what to do about things like "section" and "entry" though. Suggestions? In other words, L<Pod::Parser> is likely to be rendered simply as "Pod::Parser", but I don't know what to do with L<perlfunc/die> or L<"Theory of MIMEs">. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
