nimdokk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there any reason why POD documentation would not appear when I extract it with pod2html? Basically what happens is that all the documentation up to a certain point is put into the output HTML page anything after that is being dropped out. I can't see any differences between the documentation that shows up and the documentation that does not. It just stops after a certain point, as if it hit a limit of some kind. Are there any limitations with pod2html? Unfortunatley, we are using an old version of perl, so there may well be some bugs with what we have (perl version: 5.004_04 on sun4-solaris). But I just want to cover all my bases, thanks in advance.

    Are you sure you have completely blanks lines (not even spaces) surrounding the POD directives in the affected area? Perhaps podchecker might give you a clue.

    I guess you ran into some bug. I'd first check whether it problem still happens in a modern version of Perl (there have been 3 major releases since 5.004_04). Otherwise, the bug might be in your (POD) code.

      I'm a dork, I've been staring at this computer too long. The new output file was getting appended onto an older file. I discovered this after I posted the quetion.
