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.
You can download it from:
<http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>
This package is maintained using Git; see the instructions on the above
page to access the Git repository.
Please let me know of any problems or feature requests not already listed
in the TODO file.

Thanks, Russ! I can only assume that moving back to the *.PL was a bit of a
disappointment. Thanks for helping to keep things great on all platforms!
