Hi,

to document my perl app i use a tool chain with Markdown as intermediate format. I use Pod::Markdown to convert POD to Markdown. There is one problem with this module: if i try to embed Markdown into an =item then it adds too much indentation, so the embedded Markdown is always verbatim. Simple example:

=over

=item *

Huhu!

=begin markdown

This should be **bold** using markdown.

=end markdown

=back

this results in:

- Huhu!

        This should be **bold** using markdown.

I'd expect: 
- Huhu!

  This should be **bold** using markdown.

A three year old bug report exists, but without any response: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=131585. I looked into the code to see if i can fix this by myself, but it seems that this is caused by a base class method. Here i stopped since i am not familiar with the POD parser classes. Does anyone know of a solution or workaround for this problem?
