perldoc biffs on E<>

Stas:

C<Apache-E<>gensym> in the docs throws an error with my 5.8.0 perldoc:

nick@world ~/tmp>perldoc porting.pod
porting.pod:200: Unknown escape E<>
porting.pod:205: Unknown escape E<>

FYI.

BTW, should this (and our other dicussions re docs) be on doc-dev?

Yes, but unfortunately Pod::POM (which we use to parse pod) doesn't support 
it. I've bugged Andy to fix it, but he is too busy. It'd be nice if someone 
would fix it.

Easier written/read as C<< Apache->gensym >> (the double arrows allows you
to put single arrows inside without E<lt>).
