=head1 BUGS
-This pod document contains literal Latin 1 characters and may encounter
-translation difficulties. In particular one popular nroff implementation
-was known to strip accented characters to their unaccented counterparts
-while attempting to view this document through the B<pod2man> program

-as in E<yuml>). Another nroff truncated the resultant manpage at
-the first occurrence of 8 bit characters.
