Without looking at the code, that would be a test for a bugfix I added 
recently. It will be a simple matter to revert that to the two-arg form.

I'll get this wrapped up tonight.

Thanks for the report,

Actually I do, I run podchecker. Alas, it did not consider that to be an 
error. One thing that annoys me at the moment at some point I upgraded 
my POD tools, and now pod2text produces the blightful ``quotes'' instead 
of just "quotes". Recipes to fix that gratefully received.

I fixed the problem on use.perl, but the correcting the mail message is 
now quite beyond my reach.

You know, that would be a very good reason why it wasn't in Jerry's list 
in the first place. A commendable decision, it's very 5.8-friendly!
