You forgot to grep for how often you find URLs without any markers at
all. Why is there a need for markup when POD parsers should be able
to guess what is URLs quite easily. Isn't POD supposed to be plain?
[gisle@eik perl-current]$ grep -r 'http:' . | wc -l
1326
[gisle@eik perl-current]$ find . -name \*.pod | xargs grep http: | wc
