The release notes mention that it parses any existing POD as best it can, which tallies with my (limited) experience of it thus far.

Well, it is well known that "nothing but perl can parse Perl" (but PPI tries hard to compensate), and POD is not that easy either: perhaps due to the fact that there's no really standardized way for listing methods or public functions, that I know of. Which brings me back to some discussions I must have heard in Perl 6 development circles amongst @Larrys about the desire/need to provide hooks for easy intercommunication between the interpreter proper and development tools like IDEs and smart editors, but unfortunately I can't find any link at the moment. Anyway, that's good news, let's hope to see the beast alive!

And yes, I'm doing a fair amount of playing with DateTime at the moment... ;-)

Really? I would have never said...
