There is no change in the code because there was nothing to change ;-)
I tried by removing the perldoc script from my local Perl installation, and pod2usage() just worked fine (i.e., it showed only humble text rather than the formatted manual).
Therefore I don't think Pod::Usage should get a hard dependency on Pod::Perldoc, since that in turn requires a bunch of other modules. Of course, you usually want to have Pod::Perldoc on your system... but Pod::Usage will work decently without it, and will make use of it if it's there.
Is there anything else I can do for you?
