  Richard, if you haven't already tried this, you might have a look at the
POV-Ray v3.1 documentation section 4.2.5 "The #version Directive". In part,
it states:

"As POV-Ray as evolved from version 1.0 through 3.1 we have made every
effort to maintain some amount of backwards compatibility with earlier
versions. Some old or obsolete features can be handled directly without any
special consideration by the user. Some old or obsolete features can no
longer be handled at all. However some old features can still be used if you
warn POV-Ray that this is an older scene. The #version directive can be used
to switch version compatibility to different setting several times
throughout a scene file. The syntax is:

VERSION_DIRECTIVE:
#version FLOAT;
(end excerpt)

  Which specific scenes have you encountered problems with, when rendering
with POV-Ray v3.1?
