This is a bug report for perl from jvromans@squirrel.nl,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Pod::Usage allows option -exitval to be the string "NOEXIT", but in
this case it gives one or more warnings since the value is used in
numeric comparisons.
