Not a bad idea - I'll take it into consideration. For some inspiration, I know O'Reilly writes many of its books in a pseudo pod format - I forget what book has the source to their converter (Template Toolkit? - I may be way in Right Field), but using that as a starting point and just taking what I need would probably help ;) Seems like a lot of problems with the current POD will be helped with the POD for Perl 6 - if not, now's the time I guess for everyone to chime in - Damian just released the spec and almost has a working Perl5 parser.
