It's not only pod2man: % perldoc docs/running.pod Got a 0-length file from docs/running.pod via Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm!? at /usr/bin/perldoc line 13. % podlint docs/running.pod begin expected a terminating end at docs/running.pod line 3 over expected a terminating back at docs/running.pod line 144 unexpected end at docs/running.pod line 151 The second line is a separate problem, also shown by: % podchecker docs/running.pod *** ERROR: =over on line 117 without closing =back (at head1) at line 144 in file docs/running.pod docs/running.pod has 1 pod syntax error. but fixing it doesn't change the begin/end problem and the empty output.
