Be aware that Perl 5.18.0 includes podlators 2.5.1, which means that
pod2man now exits with an error by default if there are POD syntax errors.
I believe this means that some fairly large percentage of the packages
with the manpage-has-errors-from-pod2man will FTBFS once this becomes the
default version of Perl.
