Pod::Simple and Unicode under 5.6

[Sean M. Burke]

I'm having no luck trying to track down what flakiness in perl 5.6's 
Unicode support is causing all the complaints and ickyness in 
Pod::Simple.  It works just fine under perl 5.8, but under 5.6 there's 
endless screaming about malformed UTF8 characters.

So would it bother anyone if I simply turned off Unicode support in 
Pod::Simple when running under 5.6?  I.e., any Unicode characters would 
just come out as a "*" or something.
