podlators To-Do List

This is a somewhat random and unordered list of things I'd like to see fixed or improved, but which I've not yet had a chance to do. Patches for any of the following are very much welcome.

• Escape all hyphens in the text of L<some-command> links.

• Add a =for license stanza that takes license text and embeds it as a *roff comment.

• Abstract the shared code between Pod::Man and Pod::Text to a new Pod::Simple inheritance layer that both modules can use.

• Suppress the URL for L<|> if the link is just the anchor part of the tag with mailto: added to the front. Also strip the mailto: part if there is no anchor text.

• Add a test suite for the pod2man and pod2text driver programs.

• Update coding style to my current standards.

• Optionally suppress the generation of empty man pages in Pod::Man.
