Print a Usage Message From Embedded Pod Documentation

Edit Package perl-Pod-Usage

*pod2usage* will print a usage message for the invoking script (using its embedded pod documentation) and then exit the script with the desired exit status. The usage message printed may have any one of three levels of "verboseness": If the verbose level is 0, then only a synopsis is printed. If the verbose level is 1, then the synopsis is printed along with a description (if present) of the command line options and arguments. If the verbose level is 2, then the entire manual page is printed.

- updated to 1.64
 - CPAN#93170: Abstract in pod doesn't follow convention
     fixed the NAME section
 - CPAN#86932: documentation does not work with use strict
     rewritten parts of the DESCRIPTION section
 - CPAN#86776: "pod2usage -verbose 2 FILE" is broken when perldoc is missing
     verified that pod2usage acts decently if perldoc is missing
     note: a Perl installation without perldoc is like a haunted house
     without ghosts

 Patches provided by rjbs - many thanks!
 - These commits update Pod::Usage to only use Pod::Simple, so that any
   reliance on Pod::Parser is removed, making it easier to remove Pod::Parser
   from core.
 - [PATCH 1/4] update Makefile: strict, INSTALLDIR, 5.6
 - [PATCH 2/4] we will start to require perl 5.6 from here on out
 - [PATCH 3/4] always use Pod::Text as default base class
 - [PATCH 4/4] eliminate the branch in which Pod::Parser would be used
   This commit is intended entirely to free Pod::Usage from any reliance on
   Pod::Parser.
   * Usage.pm now defaults to using Pod::Text, rather than checking $] to pick.
   * $Pod::Select::MAX_HEADING_LEVEL is replaced with a local var
   * &Pod::Select::_compile_section_spec is copied into this module
