Subject: Module::Build makes empty manpages!
Something changed in version 2.00 that broke the way Module::Build makes manpages, such that it now makes *empty* manpages. Perhaps an API call changed? But this is serious, because I have a whole lotta empty files now where manpages should be.

You need to either report this bug against Pod::Simple (if you want Pod::Simple parsers to be reusable) or against Module::Build (if you want it to create a new parser for each manual page). There's literally nothing I can do about it in podlators except go back to Pod::Parser, which people are trying to get rid of and which I was basically the only person in favor of. Sorry. :/ It would be nice if Pod::Simple would at least fail with an error message instead of producing empty output. Maybe that would be an easier change.
