POD doc'n in CPAN modules is basically of the "here's
how to use this code" variety, so taking that is the
model, here's what I'm thinking about that
distinction. If it's about how to USE the code, such
as the arguments expected by a function, that's POD
doc'n. If it's something about the internals that only
the developer needs to know, such as more explanation
of a particularly gnarly algorithm, then it needn't
and probably shouldn't be POD. Don't confuse your
audience with things they don't need to know.
