From: Timothe Litt <tlhackque [...] cpan.org>
It seems that Perl has been bundling a version 5.2801 of Pod::Perldoc with core since 5.27.5. This version has been identified as an "upgrade" in perldelta, but in fact disables the Term formatter under all circumstances.  This fork represents a regression - in particular for users of Pod::Usage. See https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=131762 for the history. Unaware of the history, I raised this issue, with further discussion, in https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=134093 Please work and settle your differences with the core developers in a way that will not leave users stuck between the two versions, each of which is broken in some way. Thanks.
