Cool.
Now someone has to write podlators that do not depend on $/ = "";
But it looks nice for a short piece of proza, but will it still be workable
when:
=head1 CHANGES
=over 4
=item * Detailed ...
This is some text describing this point into such detail that it extends
more than one line. this text would be dealt with as pre-formatted in
older podlators. What would it be now?
=item * Next piece of info
etc. You get the drift.
