Actually, before sending to the journal I would correct the
typo ;-)

POV-Ray Team. (2002) Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer (Version 3.5)
[Computer software]. Retrieved from
http://www.povray.org/binaries/index.html.

There is some issue with whether to reference a physical location. The
"Team" does not
have a physical location, so I would go with the format that APA describes
for
software available on a university web site, which cites the web address.
Although,
it is confusing because when POV is launched the splash screen cites a
copyright
to Cris Carson, and the POV Legal statement does reference a physical
address
in Australia. If you consider the copyright statement then it ought to be
attributed to
Carson, as such:

Carson, C. (2002). Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer (Version 3.5) [Computer
software]. POV-Ray Team. Victoria, Australia.
