As I understand from the patch suggested by Dima, the problem is that
the package is copyrighted by Grégory Vanuxem, which has an accented é
in his name. As his name appeared in other files, I made a patch
(included) to add the =encoding Latin-1 to the pod's. Perldoc doesn't
complain anymore, but pdl2's help system is still unable to find the
documentation. What might be missing? By the way, would it be better
to make that accented 'e' (é) an utf8 instead of a latin1 character? 
Regards,
Luis
