Problem to solve

Perl programs often have documentation in their native "POD" format. If a README.pod is included, this isn't displayed as it would be with markdown.

Intended users

Perl developers

Further details

POD (Plain Old Documentation) is a documentation format used by Perl programs, often embedded in the code, but can be readily extracted to a file using podselect. By supporting the display of POD documentation, there's no need to maintain two independent docs.
