perl 5.36 cpan | Pod::Parser fails tests

[shawnlaffan]

Pod::Parser has started failing tests when the patch from Perl/perl5#20008 is applied to the perl source tree before building.

This has already been reported with a fix in https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=145128

If need be we can build using our own patched source tree, as is already done for several other distributions.

Although I now see that Pod::Parser is discouraged in favour of Pod::Simple.
https://metacpan.org/pod/Pod::Parser#DESCRIPTION

In the build system it is required by Pod::Latex, and possibly others.

Do we need to provide either of these distributions under the vendor dir?

@genio - Are you aware of a pressing need to distribute Pod::Latex? If not then we can leave it commented out an close this issue.

[genio]

I see no issue with leaving this out.

[shawnlaffan]

Thanks @genio. Closing issue.

We now have a patched version (#92) but I think we can still skip Pod::Latex.
