You could post process the output from pod2usage() to do the substitutions. It would be smart to use a form of markup that is unlikely to be changed by the pod2usage() processing.

Alternatively, you could preprocess the input to pod2usage() with the same caveat.

    Ahhh. How would I post-process pod2usage() output before, say, it gets put out as a man page?

      I'd use Perl. Some variation on:

      use strict;
use warnings;

while (<>) {
    s/this/that/g;
    print;
}
