I'm testing "Pod::Simple::HTML" on sourceforge:

$] = 5.00503
$^O =  linux
Pod-Simple = 2.05

it is working :)

little off-topic but, an option to disable all escaping can be good.
or maybe we can pass some character numbers that will ve ignored.
for that; there must be only 1 central escaping routine I think...

Subject: Pod::Simple and perl 5.6 consternation


Jarkko helped me get Pod::Simple working under 5.6.  I was going batty
because it I had taken out all the "use utf8" lines, but was still getting
a few "Malformed UTF-8 character" warnings under 5.6!

But I forgot Sherlock Holmes' dictum: "When you have eliminated all which
is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the
truth."

For you see, there was STILL a "use utf8" left in there, causing all the
trouble.
Once I took that one out (really for sure this time), everything worked,
well, not perfectly, but then I patched it a bit more, and hacked some of
the t/corpustest.t things to skip running under 5.6, and now everything
works under 5.8, 5.6, and even 5.005.
Under perls before 5.8, =encode foo is emulated by something that only
supports ASCII and Latin-1, and characters over 255 all get you a ?
character.

So, crisis (well, hassle) averted.
