Arch Linux

Description: the build fails in pod2man while trying to generate man pages from the pod files.


Additional Info:

* config and/or log files etc.

At the end of the build log file we have:

[code]
installing man1/CA.pl.1ssl
installing man1/asn1parse.1ssl
installing man1/ca.1ssl
installing man1/ciphers.1ssl
installing man1/cms.1ssl
cms.pod around line 457: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 461: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 465: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 470: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 474: Expected text after =item, not a number
POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/core_perl/pod2man line 71.
make: *** [install_docs] Error 1
[/code]
The input file cms.pod has a simple list of items at the point of failure:

[code]
=item 0

the operation was completely successfully.

=item 1

an error occurred parsing the command options.

=item 2

one of the input files could not be read.
<etc>
[/code]

and pod2man will not accept the "numeric" titles of the items.
I tried putting an =encoding UTF-8 line at the head of this file
but that did not help. Sorry, I don't know how to resolve this.
I have not tried reverting perl to 5.16

Steps to reproduce:

Try to rebuild openssl-1.0.1e-3 on an up-to-date system.
