Yes, this is right now in bleadperl and in CPAN developer release 3.15_01 (
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pod-Perldoc-3.15_01/) which is just a

Because of the current status of the Pod processors based on Pod::Simple,
the UTF8 encoding is preferred. For example, search.cpan.org handles it
well. And for the record, you can try and see how your documents will look
