Which means they'd be installed under /usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version},
right?  The usual reason those .pod files exist is so they can be viewed
using perldoc, which searches @INC for .pm and .pod files.

That said, I don't know.  I've seen some that have no reason to be
installed and others that do.  It wouldn't be a huge burden to use
perldoc to view a .pod file in the /usr/share/doc area instead.  The
user would just have to know to look there.
