in reply to pod2html --recurse

what exactly did you call? did you specify podroot and podpath?

from pod2html

recurse
 
      --recurse
 
Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

and podpath says

podpath
 
      --podpath=name:...:name
 
Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose HTML converted forms can be linked-to in cross-references.

I seem to remeber that the files you mentioned are meant for cross-references.

    pod2html --htmlroot=/var/www/html --podroot=. --recurse --verbose --po +dpath=bin:tests

    The above command just appears to hang for a really long time, presumably waiting for input.

    pod2html --htmlroot=/var/www/html --podroot=. --recurse --verbose --po +dpath=bin:tests --infile=index.pod --outfile=index.html

    creates just one html file (as expected) and does not chase links to create linked html files (as would be nice). It also creates the tmp files.

    bin and tests are subdirectories of '.' and have perl scripts, modules, pod files and other files (sample templates, etc) all with perlpod in them.

    P.S. New discovery for me; the first command IS waiting for input. You can type in random perlpod, then ^d breaks you out of it and outputs to stdout.
