We have been working (slowwwly) for years to remove Pod::Parser from the core
perl distribution.  At this point, I believe the only blocker is Pod::Checker.
Pod::Checker is waiting to be converted through the application of this patch:

  https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85442

Once that is done, we will need to update the known problems file for the
podchecker test and we can add "use deprecate" to Pod::Parser.  (Or so I
think.)

That should get done by perl 5.20 so we can fully remove Pod::Parser in perl
5.22.
