 - Switch UTF-8 output encoding to use Encode directly instead of adding a
   PerlIO layer.  Probe the PerlIO layers with protection for Perl
   versions without PerlIO and set a flag indicating whether we also need
   to encode, to avoid double-encoding when writing to a file handle that
   is already doing UTF-8 encoding via PerlIO.

 - Do not strip escaped trailing whitespace in *roff output such as that
   created by S<> at the end of a line, since the backslash is then taken
   by *roff as escaping the newline.  Thanks, Kevin Ryde.  (#61781)

 - Add perlpodstyle, a new style guide for POD documentation, split mostly
   from the NOTES section of the pod2man manual page.  Remove the NOTES
   section of pod2man's documentation.

 - Convert pod2man and pod2text from scripts generated from *.PL files to
   simple scripts, relying on ExtUtils::MakeMaker to handle replacing the
   #! path during the package build.

2.3.1 - 2010-02-17

 - Increase $VERSION in Pod::Text::Color and Pod::Text::Termcap, missed
