Source: perl
Severity: wishlist
I'm making this a bug to make sure it doesn't drop off the radar,
since it's going to take a bit of monitoring and occasional action.

Done (mainly for Switch). Haven't done this for Shell since this won't
be removed until 5.16. They should all be tagged perl-5.14-transition.
Any objections to make raising the strength of the perl-modules
relationship to libswitch-perl and libclass-isa-perl to Depends for
5.14?
We'd need to make those packages Priority: standard before doing this.
Note that this would just be for the wheezy cycle, and could be dropped
afterwards.

Based on your analysis, there is no software in Debian using Pod::Plainer.
This suggests that the module is little-enough used that we could drop
the dependency on this one down to Suggests. Any objections?

The only things still remaining on these lists are false positives,
so marking this as done now.
