Thanks.

It fixed the named examples :-)

It didn't fix perlxs.pod, perlxstut.pod and one or two others. :-(

It also had the "interesting" side effect of installing perlfaq.pod etc in
.../bin

I've now completed a rather more comprehensive refactoring which makes
installman use the data in pod.lst, and fixes it for the general case.
(and coming after 5.15.6, a refactoring that eliminates pod.lst)

[Which is only really possible because I don't have a "real" full time job
getting in the way of fixing the core. Hence thanks to sponsors such as
booking.com who donate money to pay for this. [And therefore also thanks
to booking.com employees who cause money to come into booking.com, enabling
them to pass some of it onwards :-)]]
