Pod tests should not be running at installation time. Either move them to xt/, or guard them with: plan skip_all => 'these tests are for authors only' unless $ENV{AUTHOR_TESTING} or $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING};

Thanks for the report. I've made changes to this part of code (no no release, but on github), although slightly different. The strange thing is that I could reproduce the problem, e.g. podchecker with 5.18.1 does not give me any errors and perldoc and pod2html work also too. What kind of code did you run which cause the error?

I'm not aware of any test in IO::Socket::SSL which does pod checking. So this must be a test the Debian maintainers do for their own (which is probably a good idea). But thanks to making me aware of the convention to have author only tests in xt. I did not know that rule yet.
