Hi!.

Today, I saw that Github render iso-8859-1 encoded pod pages with a double utf8 encoding bug.

Example:

https://github.com/zipf/perldoc-es/blob/master/pod/reviewed/perl.pod

but, one pod utf8 encoded *with* =encoding utf8 tag, renders it well:

https://github.com/zipf/perldoc-es/blob/master/pod/translated/perl5101delta.pod#___top


¿Will we need to change all POD documentation to utf8, definitely?

This sounds like a bug in github to me, POD is latin-1 when no
character set is given. As much as I'm in favor of converting to utf8,
github crewing up is not a good reason to do that.

We are translating POD to Spanish, and this is a mess for our translation software.

My vote is for utf8 pod everywhere.
