Thanks for the hint... two thoughts, feedback welcome:
1. Pod::PlainText used to be part of the core... but since now Pod::Usage depends on Pod::Simple, I think the tests should be restructured to use that, or as a last resort, Pod::Text
2. Pod::Find might deserve a separate distribution, but again the test of Pod::Usage should not depend on it.
Hope to find some time to get that done in the next days...

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?
