Yes, this is the unfortunate problem: Pod is great for writing module docs, because module docs aren't big and complicated. But the documentation for Perl IS big and complicated, and so at some point it just needs its own solutions for things like keeping everything in sync.

And I'm absolutely amazed and impressed by people who can keep up with the immense task of translating a docbase that's not just big and complicated, but is constantly changing! It's amazing! I'd be a nervous wreck if I had to face a problem even one tenth as big. But there it is, http://perldoc.jp/ , and it works!
