This bug has been fixed in podlators 5.00, released yesterday.  It will
still be some time before it's fixed in Debian, since I'm not sure if that
release will be pulled into a Perl point release or will wait for the next
major Perl release, but this bug can be closed once Perl in Debian has
been updated to a version with that release.
