The module actualy reading the files is Pod::Text. Before reassigning 
to 'perl', I prefer to be sure that the bug is indeed there.

Can you reproduce the hang and see which file was processed at that 
time? I have wine installed (as in the CPAN bugreport) but perlindex' 
cron job never hung for me.
