pod documentation item entries, and double colons

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Here's what I put in the POD source code:

=item * CLASSNAME::Method()
[download]

And here is what I get out: (Solaris, perl 5.6.1)

     o CLASSNAME:s0:Method()
[download]

How do I get rid of the "s0" so it formats correctly?

`\s0` is *roff for "swap back to the default font size" (if memory (and google :) serves me right), so I'd bet something's missing or eating a backslash. Possibly make sure you've got the latest POD modules from CPAN and see if that doesn't clear it up.	[reply]
