And still more bugs.  If you run pod2html on a podfile that
has codepoints in the 128-255 range, such as pod/perl5158delta.pod,
then you get illegal output:

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    ...

It’s emitting raw bytes but claiming they're UTF-8.  They aren't.

    $ blead -C0 utils/pod2html < pod/perl5158delta.pod > /tmp/foo.html

    $ perl -C0 -S tcgrep '\P{ASCII}' /tmp/foo.html |uniquote -v
    uniquote: read failure: utf8 "\xFC" does not map to Unicode at standard input line 1
    Exit 1

    $ perl -C0 -S tcgrep '\P{ASCII}' /tmp/foo.html | uniquote -b

You can't do that if you claim your charset is utf-8 in the meta http-equiv.
