in thread Escaping special characters for POD output

Thanks a lot! Didn't realize one might use pod_quote() to insert text inside a POD link. I've incorporated all your suggestions and uploaded version 0.002.

    ow, the leading look-behind will slow things down a lot. 

    my %transforms = (
    ( map { "$_<" => "$_E<lt>" } 'A'..'Z' ),
    ">"  => "E<gt>",
    " "  => "E<32>",
    "\t" => "E<9>",
    "="  => "E<61>",
    "/"  => "E<sol>",
    "|"  => "E<verbar>",
);

 
s{ ( [A-Z]< | [>/|] | ^[ \t=] ) }{$transforms{$1}}g;

      My casual testing confirms slowdown but not that significantly. Can you provide some texts for benchmarking?

        I didn't do any benchmarking.
