Hey, I didn't say Perl should be included with the NetBSD
distribution.  I didn't say I thought Perl should be included with the
NetBSD distribution.  I didn't say that Perl's documentation system
should be included with the NetBSD system.  OK?

I especially didn't say I wanted a fight.  And how would my engaging
in fisticuffs have anything to do with Perl's inclusion in or
exclusion from the NetBSD distribution?  You're ranting at me for no
good reason.

I said I thought POD has some good ideas, specifically its simplicity
and utility in generating other formats.  I pointed out in what man
pages you can find out about those features.  The man page I spoke of
is available via the NetBSD Packages collection.  And I stand by my
claim that whatever system NetBSD documentation gets written in could
take a lesson or two from the simplicity and flexibility of the POD
system.

There's no need to fly off the handle and start ranting about fist
fights.  

All the best,
James
