Greetings Perl-ers, I have the following POD at the top of my Perl scripts. For some mysterious reason, the B<...> (and even I<...>) in the NAME section refuse to highlight the enclosed text (foobar). What makes it all the more baffling is that, if "NAME" is changed to anything else, e.g. 'name', 'xNAME', 'NAME1', the following B<> will work! Any suggestions? A POD bug? Thanks for your insights. -GT 
#! /usr/bin/perl

=head1 NAME

B<foobar> -- program to do something

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<foobar> [B<--help>]
