I think the biggest issue is that you added "use utf8" in all the files. That has a different meaning in 5.6 and 5.8. I just commented them all out and things work much better
Under what perl version? 5.6?
So would it bother anyone if I simply turned off Unicode support in Pod::Simple when running under 5.6? I.e., any Unicode characters would just come out as a "*" or something.
What are you calling a unicode character ? Many pods are not written in unicode and have characters > 127, which is what is causing all these warnings. Turning all those characters into * is not the right thing IMO.
I mean anything over 255.
