SPUG: pod2man: changing point size?

It seems hard to imagine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to
specify what point-size and vertical-spacing you want when using
pod2man to convert POD format documentation into troff. There's
no reason why this should be disallowed, because POD documents
don't have page-breaks in the first place, and therefore don't
need preservation by regulating the amount of text per page.
I can get the (slightly larger) size settings I want in the
resulting PS (via groff -Tps file.man>file.ps) or PDF
(via pod2pdf file.ps>file.pdf) files, but only by doing a lot of
editing of file.man, to insert
.ps 13
.vs 15
in many places.
I could certainly change the macro file that's being sourced, but
this seems like a problem that somebody should already have solved --
many years ago! 8-}
Anybody have any suggestions?
