I'm pleased to announce release 4.05 of podlators. podlators contains Pod::Man and Pod::Text modules which convert POD input to *roff source output, suitable for man pages, or plain text. It also includes several subclasses of Pod::Text for formatted output to terminals with various capabilities. It is the source package for the Pod::Man and Pod::Text modules included with Perl.
Changes from previous release: Switch back to generating pod2man and pod2text from *.PL files. While ExtUtils::MakeMaker can fix the #! line, it can't handle all non-UNIX operating systems, and the *.PL script generation code can. This will hopefully remove the need for Perl core to maintain a separate copy of the *.PL wrapper scripts as well. Thanks, Craig A. Berry. [Pod::Man] Fall back (with a warning) to non-utf8 behavior if the utf8 option is specified but the Encode module is not available. This is useful in some cross-compilation situations. Thanks, Niko Tyni. Don't try to remove the temporary directory used by tests in the tests themselves, since this races with other tests run in parallel. Instead, just remove it on make clean. Provide a mailto address in bug tracking metadata, use the shorter form of the RT bug tracker URL, and fix the license value to match the new metadata specification.
