| Subject: | POD: escape non-ascii characters |
The AUTHORS section of lib/LWP.pm contains non-ascii characters encoded
as UTF-8.
However, the interpretation of bytes to characters by Perl (and so by
most POD parsers) is dependent on the platform. For example, on Win32
console this can be CP437 (depending on the system locale).
This is also a problem when the POD is displayed on search.cpan.org as
the bytes are interpreted as iso-8859-1.
Also, the "=encoding" POD statement is not supported by many POD parsers.
The proper fix would be to escape non-ascii characters:
- é E<eacute>
- ö E<ouml>
- ä E<auml>
- û E<ucirc>
- ...
