Bug#734631: odd behavior with words containing periods

Package: libpod-spell-perl
Version: 1.12-1
Severity: normal

Pod::Spell produces rather odd output for "words" that contain
periods, which in turn causes problems for Test::Spelling.
Consider:

    wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod 
    Something about the kadmin.local. command

    wanderer:~$ cat test.pod
    =pod

    Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
    wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod 
    Something about the kadmin.local. command

For some reason, the Pod::Spell translation adds a trailing period
to words that contain periods.  Unless you're aware of this behavior,
it makes writing stopwords difficult.  Notice:

    wanderer:~$ cat test.pod
    =for stopwords
    kadmin.local

    Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
    wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
    Something about the kadmin.local. command

but if you're aware of this oddity:

    =for stopwords
    kadmin.local.

    Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
    wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
    Something about the command
