Hi all,

sorry for the incomplete 2nd post scriptum :-(

This is the correct description:

PS2: also Pod::Perldoc since v 3.14_03 breaks POD2:: packages.
The main reason is that starting from Pod::Perldoc 3.14_03, the
translators have to be objects or, to better explain, must have new()
and pod_dirs() function/methods (pod_dirs() has been removed from
Pod::Perldoc)

So, since:

1) we cannot wait for 5.10.2 (5.10.0 contains Pod::Perldoc 3.14_02 and
all works fine) :-)
2) we cannot wait for POD2::Base into the core Perl distribution (even
if could be the better thing)
3) I cannot/don't want force to install also POD2::Base (even if it
could be reasonable)

the only way to solve now the problem is to update all POD2::*
packages in order to work again with Perl 5.10.1 by adding those
methods or patching Pod::Perldoc for backward compatibility (I also
did that patch)

Best
