Displaying the Math::Symbolic pod page with load_file() gets a warning,
utf8 "\xFC" does not map to Unicode at /usr/share/perl5/Gtk2/Ex/PodViewer/Parser.pm line 314, <FILE> line 560.
which appears to be a complaint about latin-1 in Math::Symbolic.
I think Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer::Parser shouldn't assume pod is utf8.
There's a bit in perlpodspec about BOM, then first high-bit for utf8,
otherwise latin1 (though I actually thought it was latin1 whenever no
"=encoding"). Perhaps Pod::Parser or Pod::Simple can be asked to take
care of it either way, since various consumers of a parse want to know
the charset, or have it as wide chars.
