How do I use Unicode characters in Pod and perldoc?

Question

I need to use utf-8 characters in my perl-documentation. If I use:

perldoc MyMod.pm

I see strange characters. If I use:

pod         


        

Answer 1

perldoc -t MyMod.pm

From the perldoc manual:

-t Display pod using pod2text instead of Pod::Man and groff (-t is the default on win32 unless -n is specified)
