I disagree.
Pod::Html is not on CPAN, it's a part of CORE.
Pod::Html has been like this for a long time (very long time).

You're not the first to complain, but most others interested in converting pod to html found other means:

• Pod::POM -- very nice, just a few bugs here and there {I think I fixed the big ones}
• Pod::Simple -- needs more pod ;P (it's a beta release)
• Marek::Pod::HTML -- aims to replace Pod::Html (works rather well, try this one -- i'm thinking of making Pod::Master work more with it).

Extending Pod::Html would require a rewrite of Pod::Html.

it required the installation of 4 additional modules

And here I thought you were grown up ;)

and if it doesn't want to do it, let's kick it out from CPAN! ;-)

No. (it? Pod::Html is a module). You're very much welcomed and encouraged to improve it and submit a patch along with tests to the perl 5 porters.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests. ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
