The "Windows doesn't let you do what?" release. Not that I didn't already know about Windows's issues in this department.
Pod::Simple has the annoying behavior of not closing files that it opened itself, namely output files passed into the parse_from_filehandle method (a backwards compatibility method that's looking less and less backwards compatible the more I look at it). As a result, the podlators test suite failed on Windows because Windows doesn't let you delete an open file.
This release has only a test suite workaround. The long-term solution is for Pod::Simple to close file handles that it opened itself when reinit is called.
You can get the latest version from the podlators distribution page.
