I do not care about the line numbers.

I'm currently (again) writing a Parse::RecDescent based parser to extract
use statments from Perl code:
  http://search.cpan.org/~domm/Module-ExtractUse-0.10/
(the CPAN version is old, I'm about to release a new version...)

I do not want the POD to interfere with this. Therefor, I wish to remove it.

The reason I do all this is to have CPANTS report what modules are actually
used by a distribution (remember, CPANTS cannot run code (=inspect the
symbol table)).

I'll take look at it

Thanks for the Feedback.
