BTW, all @perl.org lists are running with ezmlm. There is no web

I already sent a similar patch to perl5-porters (seems that it has
been applied, see
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2009/09/msg150799.html)
the improve Pod::Perldoc in that sense. That is, with PERLDOC_POD2
environment variabile you can set (once) preferred language or use
language set in LC_ALL" "LC_LANG" "LANG" environment variables
respectively.
