Thanks for the reply.  I also sent a modified version of the email to
modules at perl.org and the feedback page on search.cpan.org.  While it seems
less common (hence my difficulty in finding examples), I had the
impression that lots of people had standalone POD files in their
distributions, for times when they had documentation that was not specific
to a single module.  I was trying to do the same, but since I hadn't done
it before, this upload was sort of an experiment.  I expect it would be
possible and I just have to tweak something, but I needed to know what due
to the difficulty in re-finding examples.  If I do have to re-upload, I'll
take your suggestion and rename the file to Rosetta.pod or something like
that.  Have a good day. -- Darren Duncan
