podchecker perhaps could add a -quiet option to not print success
messages. That way one could use it with other commands without extra
messages if all is OK.
P.S., man podchecker says
Please report bugs using <http://rt.cpan.org>.
I'm guessing that since it comes with Package perl, then maybe it should
say report them on github... or at least mention something like
https://metacpan.org/release/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.3/view/pod/podchecker.PL
