Let me put it another way
Code:
export PS1="HI there>"

Does that change your prompt to HI there> ?
If so, then start adding your escape codes. Plus, you can usually only use ANSI escape sequences. If your terminal is in VT100 emulation mode those esc[1< >m sequences will not necessarily bold/unbold the text in your prompt.

Pod::Text::Termcap(3pm) 				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				   Pod::Text::Termcap(3pm)

NAME
Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Text::Termcap; my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78); # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT. $parser->parse_from_filehandle; # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt. $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt'); DESCRIPTION
Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current terminal. Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options. NOTES
This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in this regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100 terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't set in the termcap information. SEE ALSO
Pod::Text, Pod::Simple, Term::Cap The current version of this module is always available from its web site at <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>. It is also part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0. AUTHOR
