The new Pod​::(Simple)Text doesn't seem to have a pod2text() function
for compatibility with the old one. Short of someone writing that,
I've added a little workaround that should help.

Done in the latest version, tested against perldoc from 5.005_02 and it
seems to work fine. pod2text doesn't work because it assumes that
Pod​::Text exports pod2text(), but part of my stuff is a complete
replacement for pod2text anyway.

My take is to let C<...> simply become \f(CW...\fP and omit any other
markings altogether. That way both nroff :-) and troff will render it
in constant width.

Try running 'pod2man --fixed=B blah.pod | nroff -man | less' on
something and see whether you don't like what you see better than
what you saw. Well, modulo the unneeded `quotes'. But the bold
looks nice there.
