This is typically an older or misinstalled version of Perl that
doesn't include the pod2man script.

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you actually want the man page
version of the Orca documentation.

However, several workarounds:

1) You can build the HTML and text version by going into docs and
   running

   make orca.html orca.txt

2) You can download the latest podlators package which contains
   pod2man from

   http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/R/RR/RRA/

   and install it into your Perl.  As of this email message, the latest
   version is

   http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/R/RR/RRA/podlators-1.21.tar.gz

Best,
Blair
