RE: perldoc maintenance (was : Re: perldoc: deal with 2nd etc. arguments)

Note: perlindex is used by Tk::Pod, adding a very nice
full text search capability. Make sure you align any
API changes with SREZIC. I was considering an overhaul
of perlindex myself, but found no time so far. One
specific hint: Pod::Index does a poor stripping of
the B<> I<> etc. markup - it would be much safer to
let Pod::Simple do the parsing in order to just get
the text content from the POD without any markup.

In the recent past, there were more people dealing
with Pod::Index:
Ivan Tubert-Brohman <[email protected]>
=> Pod::Index (last change in 2005)
Yehuda Berlinger [[email protected]]
=> claimed in 2003 to have an improved perlindex
Ulrich Pfeifer <[email protected]>
=> author of perlindex

That would be nice (as long as Pod::Index isn't required
by perldoc, but that could be negotiated.)
