Hi. This is the qmail-send program at tmtowtdi.perl.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Until today I was thinking that in POD it is impossible to provide a
multiline "indented" text with hyperlinks or other frills, as in

==================================================================
To open a file for read, do

  open FOO, '<', $name
    or die "open: cannot open file `$name' for read: $!"

One may also want to check $^E for more detailed message.

Today I realized that

==================================================================
To open a file for read, do

C<S<
  open FOO, '<', $name
    or die "open: cannot open file `$name' for read: $!"
>>

One may also want to check $^E for more detailed message.
==================================================================

should do the same, and it allows embedding of I<>, B<>, L<>, F<>, X<>
as well.  Just to let you know...
