I cared enough to look at it. Then what? I think we are stuck to POD as it because we, the community at large, are a bunch of lazy snakes that more interrested in doing other things than work with POD (like drinking beer and other activities our high moral standards forbid me to talk about) I believe 95% are happy with boring documentation, in form or content (when it is there to start with). POD is just right for documentation couch potatoes. What about the 5% left (most of them are on this mailing list and I can't say that I'm drowning in posts). We hack our ways around POD but no one is questioning if POD should be replaced (by something less whitespace verbose I'd like). And to be fair to POD, we've build a jungle of POD related modules. It is not easy for new comers to know what to use or what to use it for. So Ricardo, what is it you want? I know this sounds strange but it's what I find myself thinking at this point. It is difficult to comment on anything you have written because you have it all right. When someone states "standards-snubbing" it is usualy because there is something they don't like about the standard not to show how good they are at iterative development. So, again, what is it you want so I might contribute my 2 cents (or not)? Thank you for your aditional module and I'll keep it in mind should I want to write a pre-processor. Cheers, Nadim.
