PodParser-1.093 *beta* uploaded to ftp.enteract.com/users/bradapp

I have uploaded the beta for a new version of PodParser to my
own personal FTP site at:

   ftp://ftp.enteract.com/users/bradapp/src/libs/Perl/PodParser-1.093.tar.gz

Changes are as follows:
=======================
 + added mandatory warning for non-empty blank lines matching /^\s+$/
 + got rid of special handling of '=>' and '=>' inside C<..> and instead
   implemented the more general rules posted by Larry Wall on P5P allowing
   /[A-Z]<...>/ and /[A-Z]<[<:]\s+...\s+[:>]>/ to deal with things like
   embedded '->' and '=>' using whitespace, as in: C<< <=> >> and I<< <> >>.
 + added proposals by Wolfgang Laun to Pod::Checker
 + more tweaks to ParseUtils.pm by Marek Rouchal

The only reason this is a *beta* release is because this version
implements the C<< $a <=> $b >> syntax which changes the current
definition of perlpod.pod *and* changes some existing behavior
and breaks a handful of existing pods that took advantage of
previous special-handling of '->' and '=>' inside of C<...>.

The new parsing behavior is a result of consensus (and apparent
approval from Larry) of changing the old behavior into the new
behavior and functionality. 

My question is whether or not the new C<< ... >> functionality can
reasonably go into Perl5.6 because of:

  * mods to existing pods that may now be broken
  * mods to perlpod.pod that translators using Pod::Parser can now
    understand but which modules that do not (like pod2html) do not.

If I need to temporarily disable the new functionality and reinstate the
old for the purpose of Perl5.6, please let me know ASAP and I will do so.
