I have investigated and fixed this bug. Adding the "=encoding" directive was a sensible suggestion but it is not supported on all current levels of Perl (eg my mac system still has 5.12 as the default). So I decided simply to remove the two offending UTF-8 characters from the POD, and I have added a step to my build checks to ensure that the POD only contains plain ASCII characters. The new version 2.06 is on it's way to CPAN.
