in thread Any reason to have documentation-only *.pm file instead of *.pod for CPAN distro?

You're saying that .pod files can't be installed out of context, but still come with the distribution?

Unless I misunderstand you, that's a feature not a bug.

Regarding taking over the namespace, having equally named .pod and .pm should be safe in this respect.

update

to better understand the namespace issue

Two dists

could clash?
