What I wanted to do, in a single file, was include some documentation after the Perl code. That is place some POD formatted documentation within the __DATA__ section of the file. The file was to then be processed by pod2html from Pod::Html. However that did not work. (I wanted to avoid starting an addition process).

The motivation for this was to have all the end-user needed contained in a single file. If they wanted to view the full documentation all that would be needed would be to run the script with an --html option on the command line and the output to then send the full documentation to a web browser.

BTW: I have it all working :-)

Thanks for looking into my problem.
