pod-coverage.t can't find the POD

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

Hello all:

I never used to have this issue, now two modules in a row are failing the t/pod-coverage.t tests, for no apparent reason, reporting: "couldn't find pod", although it passed the perl -wc test and clearly looks like valid pod. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

For an example of this issue, see:
http://search.cpan.org/~hesco/CMS-JoomlaToDrupal-0.05/

for which I had to remove the pod-coverage.t test from the line up, in order to successfully run the test suite.

Any clues would be appreciated.

There is no `pod-coverage.t` in 0.05 As for `pod-coverage.t-` (which isn't run by `make test`), I get no errors.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

pod-coverage is intended for module authors, its safe to ignore test failures. Upgrade Pod::Coverage.	[reply]
