I believe that Pod::Usage::pod2usage refers to pod2usage.PL which is a command line script; however, I think that you meant to use Pod::Usage, a part of the core. I used Pod::Usage for this script:

#!/sw/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Getopt::Long;
use Pod::Usage;

my $help = 0;

GetOptions('help|?' => \$help) or pod2usage(2);
pod2usage(1) if ($help);
pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2);

__END__
