&lt;p&gt;I'm considering adding an '=encoding' command paragraph to my POD instead of using the E&amp;lt;&amp;gt; formatting code (see [doc://perlpod]). But I'm concerned that this feature appeared in a version of Perl later than the versions I want to support.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What version of Perl introduced '=encoding'? And is there a table somewhere that lists features introduced versus the version of Perl in which those features appeared?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;</field>
