Subject: Verbatim parts are reported in chunks
Verbatim parts come in chunks if they contain empty lines. So, for example the following code: use strict; print 'Hello'; will be processed as two different "verbatim" parts: "use strict;" and "print 'Hello';", because there is a separating blank line. This makes it especially hard to parse pod with the intention to produce markdown or HTML with syntax highlight for the verbatim parts.
Pod-Parser has reached end of life, there is no more development, except for urgent bug fixes. Accumulating consecutive verbatim paragraphs sounds more like a new feature to me. Please consider using Pod::Simple, since this is the standard Pod parsing engine delivered with modern Perls.
