From: Iain Truskett <spoon [...] cpan.org>
To: bug-pod-simple [...] rt.cpan.org
Subject: undef $/
Due to a typing error, I uncovered a bug in Pod::Simple. It appears to assume that $/ is set to its default value. If you undef $/, Pod::Simple has great trouble parsing. You may want to ensure $/ has a 'good value' and set one (using local of course) if not. Just spent 10 minutes trying to find out why Pod::Simple was giving me garbage. Turned out my slurp with C<< do { undef $/; <DATA> } >> had been written as that rather than with C<< local $/ >>. +1 in that it helped me find my bug. -1 in that it doesn't just cope gracefully. cheers, -- Iain. <http://eh.org/~koschei/>

Can you try this with the new Pod::Simple version (as of a day or two ago)? -- Sean M. Burke http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/

Seems to work well (I was waiting for my nearest mirror to update). Good work! cheers, -- Iain.
