Yep, I agree.

Maybe there's a POD to info convertor? There are certainly pod2man, pod2html
and pod2txt programs. http://www.freshmeat.net/ is probably a good place to
look for this kind of stuff. If there is a pod2info program, then I think the
info docs should be included in the binary distribution of Perl.
