Hi!  Well, I expected there would have to be method overriding or 
other class stuff...

But I'm very surprised: it's as simple as changing one variable before 
starting the server.  Just have a podwebserver that consists of this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Pod::Webserver;
$Pod::Simple::HTML::Content_decl =
  q{<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" 
/>};
Pod::Webserver::httpd();


Now, there's a few reasons that could cause your question, and I think 
some of the possibilities aren't going to be solved by changing 
$Pod::Simple::HTML::Content_decl.

If changing $Pod::Simple::HTML::Content_decl doesn't fix your 
situation, then this isn't about the <meta...> tag at all, and the 
problem might instead be something that needs an "=encoding" line in 
your Pod files.
There's some examples you can look at in:
