A patch was applied in response to the original poster's complaint -- and then discussion went off in a different direction before petering out more than four years ago. My feeling is that there is no benefit to keeping this ticket open. If someone feels there are remaining issues with, say, pod/perl.pod, he/she should open a new RT and submit a new patch. I will close this ticket in seven days unless someone is willing to take over the discussion and bring it to a conclusion. Thank you very much.
