[Pod-Simple] fix string comparisons with $] to use numeric comparison instead
The fix follows Zefram's suggestion from https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2012/05/msg186846.html > On older perls, however, $] had a numeric value that was built up using > floating-point arithmetic, such as 5+0.006+0.000002. This would not > necessarily match the conversion of the complete value from string form > [perl #72210]. You can work around that by explicitly stringifying > $] (which produces a correct string) and having *that* numify (to a > correctly-converted floating point value) for comparison. I cultivate > the habit of always stringifying $] to work around this, regardless of > the threshold where the bug was fixed. So I'd write > > use if "$]" >= 5.014, warnings => "non_unicode"; Note that, because some of the files do a `use integer`, the numeric comparisons with $] a `no integer` needs to be done in a lexical scope around the comparison, to avoid truncation to integers, which spoils the comparisons. Hence the ugly `do { no integer ; ... }` in some places.
