Yes this is one is a special case where a module needs a pod file. As
you can read on Flyspray I am currently preparing a fixed release with
the option '!purge'. But I will still manually delete all podfiles
EXCEPT those in /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/pods/. For the rest, manpages
are there.

Btw I was not aware that pod files were now being removed automatically.
This was not the case in the past!
