+Pod::Parser is a base class for creating POD filters and translators.
+It handles most of the effort involved with parsing the POD sections
+from an input stream, leaving subclasses free to be concerned only
+with performing the actual translation of text.
+
+Note: this module is considered legacy and has been removed from the
+standard perl distribution but is still needed for a bunch of things.
