Hi,
POD2 as a toplevel namespace gives no hints, that it has something to do with
language. I would prefer pod::<lang> or pod::loc::<lang>.
Perldoc can use the current locale-settings. If you enter "perldoc perlfunc"
perldoc can look for podloc::$ENV{LANG}::perlfunc. As a fallback it would use
the normal path pod::perlfunc.
