It does:

no_pod_errors
    Shortcoming: The documentation for this distribution contains syntactic
                 errors in it's POD.
    Defined in: Module::CPANTS::Generator::Pod
    
I added the check for Test::Pod because somebody requested it (together with
Test::Pod::Coverage).

While I can see the point why people object to this metrics, I currently
leave them in, mostly because I've got no time for CPANTS right now (mostly
because of the Austrian Perl Workshop organisation (shameless plug:
http://conferences.yapceurope.org/apw2005/)
