in reply to ppm and autogeneration of documentation

If I recall correctly you have to do the POD to HTML conversion yourself, and then tar.gz it into the PPM yourself - not all modules do this for you.

So if you grab a module from CPAN, you have to to pod2html yourself, then edit the perltoc.html file by hand.

Have a look at ActiveState's PPM FAQ.

It's easy to do but tedious.....

    Yeah, I know how to use pod2html and edit HTML but I am sure someone wrote a script that does it using the active state modules just as occurs when you run ppm. I remember thinking I should grab that at the time but....cheers
