Re: unhappy with Pod::Html

I disagree.
Pod::Html is not on CPAN, it's a part of CORE.
Pod::Html has been like this for a long time (very long time).

You're not the first to complain, but most others interested in converting pod to html found other means:

Pod::POM -- very nice, just a few bugs here and there {I think I fixed the big ones}
Pod::Simple -- needs more pod ;P (it's a beta release)
Marek::Pod::HTML -- aims to replace Pod::Html (works rather well, try this one -- i'm thinking of making Pod::Master work more with it).

Extending Pod::Html would require a rewrite of Pod::Html.

it required the installation of 4 additional modules

And here I thought you were grown up ;)

and if it doesn't want to do it, let's kick it out from CPAN! ;-)

No. (it? Pod::Html is a module). You're very much welcomed and encouraged to improve it and submit a patch along with tests to the perl 5 porters.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

thanks PodMaster, I quote you in random order: I disagree ... No yup. I was obviously joking, I don't really want to kick anything out from anywhere :-) You're not the first to complain, but most others interested in converting pod to html found other means what I found was just the result of a quick search. it probably has something to do with the visibility of certain modules on search.cpan.org. or with my inability to use search.cpan.org, your choice :-) Pod::Html has been like this for a long time (very long time). ... Extending Pod::Html would require a rewrite of Pod::Html. and this was my point. I am unhappy with the current implementation of Pod::Html, because I see it as "the" standard way of converting POD to HTML. and for it to be something that can be called a module (eg. something that other programs than `pod2html` can use), it certainly needs a rewrite. You're very much welcomed and encouraged to improve it and submit a patch along with tests to the perl 5 porters ouch. this is the answer I feared most :-) frankly, my TODO list is consistently out of heap space, so I throw the idea out: who wants to take over Pod::Html and rewrite it? it? Pod::Html is a module o my poor english :-) should I've used "he" instead? cheers, Aldo King of Laziness, Wizard of Impatience, Lord of Hubris	[reply]
