Re^2: POD ERRORS Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below

I wish all software told you when you were making mistakes and made you look like a jerk till you fixed them.

But I am not making mistakes, I'm just reading someone elses. He use for example

=head1 NAME

Foo - bar bar bar bar

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Foo bar bar bar bar


=begin foo bar bar bar

something foo bar bar bar

=end foo bar bar bar

=cut
[download]

and get

NAME
    Foo - bar bar bar bar

DESCRIPTION
    Foo bar bar bar bar

POD ERRORS
    Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explaine
+d
    below:

    Around line 14:
        '=end foo bar bar bar' is invalid. (Stack: =begin foo)
[download]

What does pod2man, pod2text ... care about "foo bar bar bar" section. Another thing you can't turn it off (like it was before).

You've already made the right choice by bringing it up: don't suffer in silence. Try what the other anonymonk said first, upgrade. If it still turns up errors, file a bug with the author of the offending Pod. Then you'll be a Perl hero. Mine anyway.	[reply]

upgrade to Pod-Simple-3.07 (and Pod-Perldoc-3.14_07), seems to quiet most of those (the valid ones) `=begin foo bar bar this is valid =end foo =begin foo bar bar this is invalid =end foo bar bar` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
