[FWP] Fun with POD

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

Let's imagine for a moment that you have a Perl script, fooscript. It starts
like this, with a POD header all ready for pod2man.


		#!/usr/bin/perl

		=head 1 NAME

		fooscript - a script that really foos

        =head SYNOPSIS

        fooscript -f -g -h


Now, consider foa moment that you've made a small editing mistake. There is a
blank line above the

		#!/usr/bin/perl

Now, imagine that you run this script...

        fooscript

What will your system administrator's reaction be?
