in thread pod2usage not displaying the pod document information for verbose level 0 & 1 on LINUX

Hi Kyle,
When i ru nthe script with
> test.pl -h
> test.pl --help
> test.pl -help

It is not showing me anything on the prompt. but when i run it with -man it is opening the man page.
Did u try running this script in Linux?
Also, when I tried with the -input=>"./help.pm" for help option it is showing me the SYNOPSIS from help.pm file. but without -input=>"./help.pm" (POD in current) it is not working... Is there anything wrong with POD? Please help me...

    Say, after you remove the 5 some spaces on the line after =item B<-p> <path>, does pod2usage() works as expected? That is what podchecker(1) reported anyway (in spite of which "Usage:" is being printed here as expected with perl 5.8.7 (on GUN/Linux)).

      I have run the podchecker & resolved all the warnings but still the script is not working for "test.pl -help". It is only working for verbose level 2.

        I am out of ideas then, other than to investigate the workings of Pod::Usage module (unless there is some other issue).
