perllove, could you please explain what your really want to do with the POD files? My wild guess says that you maintain some POD files under CVS to track revision. Each time you make change to a file, you commit the file along with some log changes. Now, you want to make all log changes intacted inside the corresponding POD file. If this is the case, then your post is a bit off topic (OT) because this is unrelated to Perl directly, and you should be careful to post OT here, specially in unclear statememnt.

However, if this is really your case, you want to use a CVS keyword called $Log$. Please check relevant CVS documentation.
