pod2man propagates duplicate space in the man page (contrary to
pod2text).
For instance, /usr/sbin/pam_getenv contains
This tool will print out the value [...]
with 2 space characters between "tool" and "will" (this is probably
unwanted, but this shouldn't yield inconsistencies in their handling).
The pod2text utility generates only one space:
zira:~> pod2text /usr/sbin/pam_getenv | grep tool
This tool will print out the value of *env_var* from /etc/environment.
but pod2man keeps both spaces, so that one gets them in the man page:
"pod2man /usr/sbin/pam_getenv | man -l -" gives
[...]
