Thanks. It took me a while to understand you because of the HTML escaping in the link. I went to that URL, and yes I see a nice link to a man page. (BTW, the first link in that section, to lwp-request, is broken).

So that answers part of the question. However lwp-dump puts its POD inside the script and I'd like to have that be separate, because it may be shared/duplicated in a github wiki. So my thought was to create in the same directory the something like lwp-dump.pod.

Again I'll make a little test, and make sure to follow your guidelines and follow the format of lwp-dump.

(BTW, the first link in that section, to lwp-request, is broken).

I'm guessing, but probably because it is created at when you run Makefile.PL , so if you install LWP, the link will work, just not on CPAN

update: well I checked, its a typo in the NAME section of https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/libwww-perl/bin/lwp-request, must use dash, convention is  NAME - description so it should be

lwp-request - GET, POST, HEAD - Simple command line user agent
[download]

This is also a bug in PAUSE/CPAN indexer, most folks figure out the right formatting, but it should warn the rest when =head1 NAME doesn't match NAME - description because its used for resolving links

It took me a while to understand you because of the HTML escaping in the link.

Aww :) I usually double check ... metamod:// should be smarter and save me when I typo :) https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP#MORE-DOCUMENTATION

So here is the results of a test. It looks like it works, but buggy.

See https://metacpan.org/source/ROCKY/Bio-BPWrapper-1.02_02/bin.

Unless I've missed something, I'll report this as a bug sometime tomorrow.

Well, why did you do that?

bioseq or https://metacpan.org/pod/bioseq leads to https://metacpan.org/pod/release/ROCKY/Bio-BPWrapper-1.02/lib/Bio/BPWrapper/bioseq.pod

Delete or change the pod to

=head1 NAME

Bio::BPWrapper::bioseq - desc
[download]

And it "bioseq" should now lead to https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Bio-BPWrapper/bin/bioseq
