Thanks for the report. This is interpreting a bunch of uuencoded data as pod, starting at a line that happens to begin with "=". Evidently different versions of the pod modules disagree about what starts pod. I have a perl here that reproduces this problem, rendering a bunch of the uuencoded data as part of the documentation. Should be easy to work around. -zefram
While this test failure is indeed an issue that should be corrected, please don't allow pod, critic, coverage or kwalitee tests to run for normal user installs, as they make the installation fail unnecessarily when newer versions of the tester module introduces errors that you cannot anticipate. Also spelling tests are dependent on what dictionaries are installed locally, and critic tests use all plugins that are installed, neither of which can be predicted in advance. Either move these tests to xt/, or guard them with: plan skip_all => "These tests are for authors only!" unless $ENV{AUTHOR_TESTING} or $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING};

On this occasion, the pod test alerted me to a genuine user-visible problem, namely the documentation rendering incorrectly. This test was worth running on user installs. Your comments about critic and kwalitee tests aren't applicable here. -zefram
