pod2usage and Pod::Find, Pod::PlainText

It has been a goal to remove Pod::Parser from the core perl distribution.

It turns out there is a dependency in 2 test files for pod2uage upon 
Pod::Find and Pod::PlainText, which are parts of Pod::Parser.

The test files are Pod-Usage/t/pod/pod2usage.t
                and Pod-Usage/t/pod/pod2usage2.t

Note that Pod::Usage itself doesn't depend on Pod::Parser, just two test 
files do.  I don't understand this part of perl at all.  So I'm 
wondering what to do about this.  Could the tests just be deleted?  Is 
there a current alternative to the functionality of these modules?

Thanks
