(Wait a moment, let me get my back up here... okay, all set.)

No, I still need the man-page-style formatting, I just don't want the
paging.

Also, pod2man chokes with error on these files, while perldoc
succeeds.

And, even the `man' program itself (on my system at least) has an
option to specify the pager, and if you specify the empty string, it
does the right thing.

So I don't buy it. Forcing a pager is just plain wrong.
