A while back, I wrote TOBYINK::Pod::HTML which generates fairly clean HTML or XHTML, and syntax highlights code using PPI::HTML, Syntax::Highlight::RDF, or Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate depending on the language being syntax highlighted (because it doesn't just support Perl!).

It comes with a command-line tool allowing you to do:

pod2html-tobyink --code_highlighting --pretty --output=xhtml path/to/d
+oc.pod >path/to/doc.html

[download]

But you probably want to write your own command-line tool if you want to pass in different options for code highlighting colours, etc.

Also consider Web::PerlDistSite which wraps TOBYINK::Pod::HTML and provides a static-site generator for quickly creating flashy websites for a Perl distribution. The documentation is a little sparse, but once you've set it up once, it's fairly easy to use.

This is what is used by, for example, the Type::Tiny website.
