Eric's case is where user who just wants to install the module has Test::POD but there are POD errors, so the tests fail and he or she has to examine the test output to see if forcing the installation is a good idea. It's not about not having Test::POD installed. If the distribution with the failing POD happens to be way up the dependency chain, I think we can safely call the situation "A big bucket of suck." -- c
