Subject: Pod::Simple misses INSTALLDIRS directive, can not be upgraded
Because Pod::Simple is core as of 5.9.3, it should include in its makefile.pl: INSTALLDIRS => ( $] >= 5.009003 ? 'perl' : 'site' ), Right now, it's not possible to upgrade Pod::Simple on 5.9.3 and higher, as the core install dir is before the site dir in @INC, and therefor the older version will always be picked up.

I can confirm this problem also on a 5.10.0 system. Regards, Slaven

This also impacts modules that require this module - Pod::Test for example, requires 3.07, installs it... and then that module fails because it picks up 3.05 when running the tests- this with a built-by-me copy of 5.10. CPAN does the same thing: reports 3.05 is installed, upgrades to 3.07, and then still reports that 3.05 is intalled. (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47913)

This was fixed in 3.08, and will be fixed in core once the 3.09 patch is applied.
