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).
