[MacPerl-Modules] Glue, PODs and PostScript

[Dave Johnson <dave_johnson@ieee.org>]

While printing out several "Glue PODs" using 'pod2ps', I ran into a
problem. Specifically with the one
for the Finder. It would only print out three pages and them quit. Using
Distiller I have been able to
track the problem down to the following line:

=item alias_list (alst): A list of aliases.  Use 'as alias list' when a
list of aliases is needed. (instead of a list of file system item
references).

The line is processed correctly by 'Shuck' but pod2ps generates invalid
PostScript code. It appears
the above line is just to long. I made the line shorter by deleting
"(instead of a list of file system item references)" and it prints fine.

Is there a restriction on the length of an POD "=item" or is this a problem
in pod2ps?

Dave
