Subject:   how to use perl 5.005 & Pod::Text?

hi, 

does anybody know how to use Pod::Text module, and pod2text() 
function, w/ perl 5.005_03?  its pod is not as helpful as that of
Getopt::Long.

i must mention that i had installed perl 5.6.1 from ports and last 
world was built w/o system perl. i can use Pod::Usage module and 
pod2usage() function, as stated, just fine w/ perl 5.6.1.

it's just that i want to create a port out of a perl program and
quite confident that not everybody has perl 5.6.1 installed or would
want to install just to use this program. 

i could use system() call to pod2text() or pod2man() but would 
prefer to use the module if possible.

Pod/Text.pm appears in  /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 and it's in
@INC. below are the content of @INC for perl 5.005_03...

/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005

any suggestions welcome. thanks.
