Basically, the end result is that this is not a bug that I can fix without
doing work that I'm not sure I have time to do. I would certainly welcome
patches to teach it to (optionally) output UTF-8 directly and just assume
that the resulting device can cope; it should be a command-line option to
start with. This may not be too bad, and if I find time, I can try to see
what I can do for the next release, but no promises there.
In fact it is not that far from being implemented.
What is missing is an option to modify the "convert" formatting option of
Pod::Man from pod2man.
Here is a patch to do that.
It adds a "convert" option to Pod::Man (set by default), and a --noascii
option to pod2man, which permits to disable the Pod::Man's convert option.
