[OT] Pod::Man, apostrophes and utf8 on Debianby bsb (Priest) |

bsb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
An annoyance I have with the man pages on Debian and Ubuntu
is the conversion of ' to ’ which means I can't just cut
and paste example code.
This only occurs when nroff is targetting UTF8.
It also occurred in Pod::Usage
output which is using Pod::Man somewhere internally.
I've found some discussion
online, but the threads usually end saying "fix the man page".
Is the output from Pod::Man broken in any sense?
My current work around is:
If there's a saner way to handle the issue I'd love to hear about it.
