=3Dhead1 AUTHOR

=46oo <fo...@ba...>

Bar <ba...@ba...>

=3Dcut

=2E..is two paragraphs (renders on separate lines in perldoc)

=3Dhead1 AUTHOR

=46oo <fo...@ba...>
Bar <ba...@ba...>

=3Dcut

=2E..is one paragraph

=3Dhead1 AUTHOR

  Foo <fo...@ba...>
  Bar <ba...@ba...>

=3Dcut

=2E..is one literal paragraph of two lines

=3Dhead1 AUTHOR

  Foo <foo at bar dot com>

=3Dcut

=2E.. is ignored without my patch, which was ignored.

But it looks like the behavior WRT lines/paragraphs/literals may depend=20
on whether Pod::Parser is installed as textblock() is fed a paragraph=20
while the M::B::PodParser::_myparse_from_filehandle() is going=20
line-by-line.

=46rom the looks of things, the first three cases should turn into=20
something like this (where $f =3D "Foo ..." and $b =3D "Bar ...".)

1.
M::B::PP [$f, $b]
P::P [$f, $b]

2.
M::B::PP [$f, $b]
P::P ["$f $b"]

3.
M::B::PP ["  $f", "  $b"]
P::P ["  $f\n  $b"]

The automated test is not trivial, but is still left as an exercise for=20
the reader.

Minus 1 million points for not setting your clock forward and trying the
code.
