Indeed. There is only one test to make sure it loads. I am still
thinking about the best way to implement a test - I'm not too keen
on a 'convert some pod to latex and then compare byte for byte with
a test case' but I will add one.
> pod2latex seems to produce bad LaTeX:
As for the second point, pod2latex does not produce bad latex. It does not
have a latex preamble/postamble by default (providing backwards
compatibility with the existing pod2latex command that forms part of the
core distribution). Unlike the old pod2latex my pod2latex can be told to
create a full document that can be latexed immediately.
According to the pod2latex man page, use of the -full option will
generate a full latex document.
% pod2latex -full LaTeX.pm
should work. Sorry for the confusion, I would have made -full the default
if it wasn't for the fact that the existing pod2latex does not have this
behaviour (and can't be configured to do it either).

See above. IT also adds index creation and table of contents with -full.
