A patch was introduced awhile back to fix an issue where pod2man would have some sort of trouble with pod files that had long lines in =item: http://code.activestate.com/lists/perl5-porters/32320/ Later on, these broken-out lines were rejoined: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-03/msg00596.html The [;,] line is the problem; right now diagnostics.pm treats ';' and ',' as special end-of-line characters to mean 'get more from the next line'. This seems wrong to me, and I think pod2man no longer has issues with long lines, so we can remove this special processing from diagnostics.pm. Thoughts? -- Matthew Horsfall (alh)
