Re: [MacPerl] Shuck curiosity

Some perhaps relavent quotes from perlpod.pod:

   "A pod-to-whatever translator reads a pod file paragraph by paragraph"

   "All command paragraphs start with "=""

   "And don't forget, when using any command, that the command lasts up
    until the end of the *paragraph*, not the line. Hence in the examples
    below, you can see the empty lines after each command to end its
    paragraph."

   "Pod translators usually will require paragraphs to be separated by
    completely empty lines."

So, for example in:

xxx
=over

=over *isn't* at the start of the paragraph, xxx is, so the =over won't
be recognized as a pod directive.
