Does this mean that there is a "find"-like function in Pod::Simple that replaces Pod::Find? That would be an opportunity to discontinue Pod::Find along with Pod::Parser...

Looking at the man page, it looks like Pod::Simple::Search does a
similar function as Pod::Find does

Yes, and it has been there since forever.

I suspect I was just trying to get both functions to prefer things in the same order. I agree with Rik’s suggested ordering, however, especially if it makes the bloody tests pass.

Anyone object to making Neil a committer and co-maint on Pod-Simple? (I’m hoping Neil doesn’t object.) The canonical repository is here:

Best,

David

No objection, and I preemptively overrule Neil's potential objection.
