Take a look at Pod::HtmlEasy. With it you can convert easy to html and personalize each peace of the HTML, like links, itens, etc... without care about the convertion, entities, etc...

Here's an example of use:

  use Pod::HtmlEasy ;
  
  my $podhtmleasy = Pod::HtmlEasy->new(
  on_L => sub {
            my ( $this , $L , $text, $page , $section, $type ) = @_ ;
            if   ( $type eq 'pod' ) {
              $section = "#$section" if $section ne '' ;
              return "<i><a href='http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?$page
+$section'>$text</a></i>" ;
            }
            elsif( $type eq 'man' ) { return "<i>$text</i>" ;}
            elsif( $type eq 'url' ) { return "<a href='$page' target='
+_blank'>$text</a>" ;}
          } ,
  }
  
  my $html = $podhtmleasy->pod2html('test.pod' , 'test.html') ;
