From what I can tell the munging at the end of itemx isn't really
needed and from
an inspection of the generated pod and man pages afterward the only
changes
I see are fixing of cases like the above.
I guess we aren't using any numbered lists, then. pod2man is, perhaps
deliberately, stupid about numbered lists - you have to do the
counting yourself. (podlators author cc:ed for comment.) That is
what the code you took out is trying to do.
After quite a bit of staring, I think the right fix is this patch
instead:
