Thanks for the Pod::Simple tip.
I'm currently trying out Pod::Simpe::HTML, and it looks more
spiffy than pod2html. It does blockquote right
when it encounters =over ... =back spans without enclosed
=items.
pod2html currently does line-by-line processing (no
deferred output), so it can't go back and add a starting
<blockquote> tag when it arrives at the
=back without seeing any =item in
between. (without modification of program logic and data flow, of course,
so there's not a matter of a simple patch).
FYI, here's what perlpodspec is saying (though it doesn't read as a requirement to put blockquotes in HTML formatting):
An "=over" ... "=back" region containing no
"=item" paragraphs at all, and containing only
some number of ordinary/verbatim paragraphs, and
possibly also some nested "=over" ... "=back"
regions, "=for..." paragraphs, and
"=begin"..."=end" regions. Such an itemless
"=over" ... "=back" region in Pod is equivalent in
meaning to a "<blockquote>...</blockquote>"
element in HTML.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
