Pod-Simple 3.24

on Perl CPAN

Fixed corner case bug for unlikely scenario in which non-UTF-8
text could be parsed as UTF-8. Grant McLean.

XHTML IDs can no longer end with punctuation. Thanks to Smylers
for the patch.

Fixed test failure on Perl 5.6.2.

Changed the default installation location from "perl" to "site" on
5.12 and higher, since as of that version of Perl, dual-life
modules no longer need to be installed in "perl" to replace
in-core versions. Patch from tzccinct.

Fixed hash order dependency test failures on Perl 5.17. Thanks to
Yves Orton for the patch.

Inlined the code that tries to guess a Pod file's encoding. This
reduces the time Pod::Simple takes to build the core Perl
documentation by 15-20%. Thanks to Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker for
the patch!

Added a warning when "=item" types mismatch within one
"=over"/"=back" block. Marc Green/Google Summer of Code, with
assist from RJBS.

Fixed regression introduced in 3.22 in which "C< >" tags were
incorrectly treated as verbatim text in table of contents items
emitted by Pod::Simple::XHTML. Thanks to Randy Stauner for the
report and to Thomas Sibley for the fix!

Loosened up the matching of "L< >" tags for man pages so that they
allow names with dots, underscores, and any other chararacters
other than "/", just so long as they end in '[(][-a-zA-Z0-9]+[)]'.
Thanks to Dave Rolsky and Kevin Ryde for the reports (RT #82975 &
RT #82972).

Fixed inverted mapping of "keyboard" to "kbd" in
Pod::Simple::HTML. Thanks to Robert Boisvert for the bug report
(RT #79201).

Added two new Tagmap entries to Pod::Simple::HTML: "preformat"
maps to "pre", and "teletype" maps to "tt". Suggested by Robert
Boisvert (RT #79201).

"X< >" tags are now ignored by the pull parser when it searches
for titles, as is any trailing whitespace. Thanks to Patrice Dumas
for the report (RT #74389).
