Aah, I'd intended the pull request to apply only to the pod whitespace
changes. Possibly my github-fu is weak.

I'm playing with it in my github fork you've already seen, but not
asking anyone to take it yet.

I've fixed the .PL thing, as I couldn't work out what that was doing
either, it's just a regular script now.

The goal is to try to get behaviour vaguely like the core podchecker,
with the daydream of eventually replacing it.
