Note also that MacPorts perl ports install a versioned pod2man
${prefix}/bin/pod2man-${perl5.major}
so some further configuration is required to get the port to use it.

Builds successfully on the 10.6 buildbot with this fix. Not tested on earlier OS versions but hopefully fixes problems with them as well.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
This continues to be a problem. If I understand the failure correctly, the perl dependency used in this port
allows /usr/bin/pod2man but, on 10.6, the version provided is too old and doesn't accept the --utf8 option required here. Using a dependency style that requires a specific MacPorts perl version throughout this port would probably correct this issue.
This failure causes gucharmap to fail as well on this platform.
