I like Pod::XHTML because I get better control of the output formatting, but I really want the "--podpath" kind of searching in Pod::Html. Is this feasible? Assuming I know nothing about subclassing? (BTW, this is for https://www.openssl.org/docs/manpages )

What?

What is your actual ultimate goal? Combine wrap pod2html in a perl script and Adding "podpath" to Pod::XHTML? a picture is starting to form, but the details are peculiar, can you clarify them?

Does this help you in any way?
