Manpage generation is handled by manifypods() in MM_Unix.pm. This method *simply* returns string. You want to return a different text string however you probably don't want to try a manual edit. Implicit to the docs is that a method called MY::manifypods will be called instead of MM_Unix::manifypods with the same argument list as the original. As a result the easiest way to do this is:
sub MY::manifypods {
# cut and paste the manifypods code from MM_Unix here
# in its entirity
# pod2man is being called in the ugly looking lines that start
$pod2man_exe = "-S pod2man"; # <<-- edit this
}
push @m,
qq[POD2MAN_EXE = pod2man_exe\n],
qq[POD2MAN = \${PERL} -we '.....
# what this horrid looking code is doing is building
# up a series of command line perl scripts which then
# get executed, so by changing the value of $pod2man_exe
# you call pod2man with the appropriate flags which
# should do the trick (I think :-)
# finish with the join just like in MM_Unix.pm
return join'', @m; # this returns the string
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
