It's a bug (or maybe just a limitation) in the pod2man converter. If you say

  see LFoo::Bar for more information

then it's expanded to see the Foo::Bar manpage for more information. This is
fine mot of the time, but can occasionally lead to the kind of weirdness that
you describe above.

Why do people say inherits from the Foo::Bar manpage and not Foo::Bar
module/class? I mean, how can something inherit from a lump of
