[Chicago-talk] Multiple spaces, ascii art, pod

Make sure that you've got empty lines around your =pod
and =cut lines. 

=pod

(stuff)

=cut

And make sure there's no spaces or anything on those
empty lines. They need to be truly empty.

+
=pod
+
(stuff)
+
=cut
+

Those lines with the plusses up there. I've seen wacky
pod things w/o the blank line that's really blank.
Also, maybe try getting rid of the === line, it may be
getting confused and thinking it's a pod directive.

Of course, I'm rather disappointed with this whole
thread, since when I saw the subject, I got my hopes
up when I saw "multiple spaces" and "ascii art" that
it might be about multiple dimensional ascii art, and
(you see) I wrote a program to do that a few years
back.

Not terribly easy to understand or well written,
though.
