Subject: New Pod::Simple warning: alternative text ... contains non-escaped ...
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/446d0076-ba75-11e2-9e8e-5b908bcd3b21 Pod::Simple >= 3.27 and Test::Pod are required to reproduce. Please consider making pod tests author tests, they make user installs fail unnecessarily. Thanks,

Denied for now, because: - I installed Test::Pod when reading this ticket. - I want author tests are enforced for me without have a chance to skip it because of missing dependencies or so - I'm lurking for a smoother way to mark author tests ;) Probably the discussion about the pro and con of skipping author tests for the author itself (finally when making a dist) should be done on perl-qa@perl.org, shouldn't it?

I did not want to persuade you, just suggested to consider it. No problem if you feel otherwise. I wrote several dozens of bug reports due to new warnings in Pod::Simple and so wanted to raise awareness that new warnings can repeatedly become a problem for every maintainer. -- andreas

I know - and that's why I could reject it as described and think about a better solution in the meantime. As you might have noticed, I just rejected the way of solution, because I think making those tests optional will lead into failures at user-side. I don't like that. Today's commits might be a suitable solution and if you want, take a look - https://github.com/perl5-dbi/SQL-Statement/commits
