Bug#587733: doesn't recognize =encoding

[Jeremiah Mahler]

Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.1-13
Severity: normal


I can confirm that the encoding directive does not work with
Pod::PlanText.  And looking through the documentation (perldoc -m
Pod::PlainText) there is no indication that it supports =encoding.

I believe the page referred to 
[http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html#=encoding-_encodingname_]
is talking about using =encoding with perldoc which uses Pod::Perldoc
and does support =encoding.

Perhaps the status of this bug should be changed to 'wishlist' for
Pod::PlainText to add support for =encoding.
