Description
The pod2ipf utility is missing. It is needed to create an INF version of the documentation. I can provide a modified version and some fixes.

we would need to create a separate rpm for that, as I doubt this is in any original perl distributions. And here come the time factor as well. We can't do everything for free, as we need a living. So eventually it will be done one day. If you really need to feel free to contact us and we will give you a price quote.

pod2ipf was in Perl 5.8 and I believe that it was also in 5.10. IAC, if you decide to create documentation in INF format, the files I attached should help.

as we have a man viewer we don't plan to add documentation in inf. So I close this ticket as won't fix. If you feel it's worth to include, then add it to the source tree. I even looked at older perl source and I could not find it anywhere in the official tree.

FWIW, man doesn't have the functionality of view.
I doubt that the official source tree goes back as far as 5.8, but perlos2 still mentions pod2ipf.
I'm checking with CPAN to see whether I can add it back in.
