Well, I am pretty much clueless about what to do with this BZ.

perl-Params-Validate has always had problems with its pod-checks.
In Fedora, I have been trying to work around these by applying a patch
(Params-Validate-1.08.diff in git).

Seemingly this patch ceased being functional by some other (yet undetermined)
changes in Fedora. It used to work for f19, f20 and rawhide, but currently
fails for f20 and rawhide. F19 still builds fine. That said, I do not think
this issue has anything to do with ppc64, but is a general issue somewhere.

The big questions, I don't know the answer to, to me is: Where/what is cause?
A potential fix would depend on the answer to this question.

I can easily modify my patch to let the package build on F20/rawhide again,
however with this change applied, building fails on f19.

A last-resort work-around to all this would be to disable t/release-pod-spell.t
or all release tests. It's something I have been doing in more recent packages,
because many upstream maintainers actively discourage packagers to execise
these :(
