NINETY!
One of the surprising things about OOP as practiced in Perl land is that it you can typically do it perfectly well without deep or sprawling class hierarchies.
While I want Pod to be as flexible as possible while still achieving its goals, the problem you point out is not very compelling, at least not as you've described it. I am always on the lookout for a solution to this problem; but for the time being, think of it as an inadvertent tax on ISA hierarchy deepness.
