[rt.cpan.org #72197] [perl #97910] podchecker false errors for = inside quoted strings

<URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72197 >

This is not a bug. The problem is that if one would want to fix this
ENTIRELY, the Pod parsing utilities would have to use the SAME parser as
Perl itself - which is rather heavy-weight for a simple purpose like Pod
(the embedded documentation). Please do not expect a fix here.

If I may suggest a workaround:

my $text = <<"EOT";
#===========================
# my text here
#===========================
EOT
$text =~ s/^#//m; # remove comment; required to escape the = from being
interpreted as POD
print $text;

HTH,

Marek
