Subject: Test::Pod-1.26 -> 1.40 causes 100s of perl modules to fail
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:18:22 -0500
To: bug-Test-Pod [...] rt.cpan.org
From: David Favor <david [...] davidfavor.com>
Looks like 1.40 introduces a new level of strictness to testing Pods. Now 100s of modules fail with the following type of error. This precludes nstalling latest Test::Pod for automated testing. It may be better to report a warning for now, till authors can update this type of Pod infraction. Show quoted text

Subject: Allow L<text|schem:...>

As of Pod::Simple 3.11's included perlpod.pod and the forthcoming Perl 5.11.3, the L<text|schem:...> tag is formally declared legal. This patch once again gets Test::Pod to allow it. Thanks, David

Message body is not shown because sender requested not to inline it.

I am not a fan of the +1, but +1.  This is now explicitly valid Pod and more or less has secretly been valid with all the major parsers since forever ago.  It would be nice to have my tests not complain about it.

What say you, Andy? I'd really like to start taking advantage of this form in my Pod, but want my tests to pass and would rather not have to apply fuck typing to Test::Pod. Thanks, David
Would you like to take over as owner of Test::Pod?
