The only part of my serious Pod stuff that uses Pod::Simple is the advent
calendar, which still renders as well as usual with the new commit.

I've now [done 
so](http://github.com/theory/pod-simple/commit/833369387cafae19d0affe02f8ea31aac86f6d07).
 I'd appreciate it if folks would `git clone` and  test it with their Pod 
infrastructures to make sure that there are no unexpected consequences before I 
release it.

Thanks,

That's what I figured. Maybe I'll kill it off and do a release and see if 
anyone complains.

Pod::Text only uses fullstop_space_harden if Pod::Simple doesn't support
preserve_whitespace, so I don't believe there's anything that needs to be
changed in it.

Pod::Simple fullstop_space_harden Attribute

[David E. Wheeler]

Hey All,

Anyone know if the undocumented `fullstop_space_harden` attribute of 
Pod::Simple is used? I see it in 
[Pod::Text](http://kobesearch.cpan.org/htdocs/podlators/Pod/Text.pm.html), but 
since there is no non-breaking space in ASCII, it seems inappropriate in a lot 
of situations. It also looks like Pod::Text prefers the `preserve_whitespace` 
attribute, which has been in Pod::Simple since 3.03 (Nov 11, 2005). The current 
implementation of `fullstop_space_harden` also causes problems with Perl 5.11, 
I'm told.

So I'm wondering what to do with this attribute. Can we kill it off? Can 
Pod::Text be modified to require Pod::Simple 3.03 and not use 
`fullstop_space_harden` anymore?

If for some reason the answer is "no," then how can `fullstop_space_harden` be 
fixed to work properly with all character sets?

Thanks,

David
