I grabbed a snapshot of this branch as of 467132B and it issues the  
following warnings during the build:

Making all in cpan/Pod-LaTeX

similar for Pod::Parser and Pod::HTML.    The build proceeds so I'm  
not sure how much (if any) damage that's actually doing.  Have to run  
so haven't looked into it yet.
