Sorry, my bad, I concluded too fast.

The "=begin pod" was added with rakudo 2016.04. I guess that nobody noticed 
that Debian man page for perl6 are empty since then.

I see no point in trying to make Perl5 pod2man compatible with Perl6 pod.

I'll check with rakudo upstream what is the intent with this file.

Feel free to close this bug 

All the best
