Subject: pod2xml should print diagnostics to STDERR
The first line of pod2xml output is information about the module and version. Unfortunately this is printed to STDOUT, so it is not possible to use pod2xml with STDIN and STDOUT redirection --- the diagnostics output would garble the XML output. A better solution would be to send the diagnostic output to STDERR. However, a far better solution to not print any extra output, but just leave the information to some option switch like -v or -version. Regards, Slaven

Absolutely correct. I think this was the result of a debug string mis-placed. Removed for next release.
