This package fails to build with Pod-Simple-3.48, as packaged on
current sid in the libpod-simple-perl package, and bundled with the
(still unreleased) Perl 5.44.0.

From the build log:

    #   Failed test 'Parse pod file'
    #   at t/formats.t line 93.
    #          got: '

  Test Summary Report
  -------------------
  t/formats.t (Wstat: 256 (exited 1) Tests: 15 Failed: 1)
    Failed test:  5
    Non-zero exit status: 1

This seems to be fallout from https://github.com/perl-pod/pod-simple/pull/189
(as Text::Markup::Pod explicitly disables HTML::Entities).

Full build log attached, from

  sbuild -c sid -d unstable -A --add-depends 'libpod-simple-perl (>= 3.48)' libtext-markup-perl_0.41-1

Control: severity -1 important

Perl 5.44.0 has been in experimental for a while now, and this bug
is a blocker for getting it into sid and forky. Raising the severity
accordingly.

If you want to test changes against Perl 5.44 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
