There are two problems I can see - 1) my original script only looks for .pm, not .pod, and 2) you are trying to run perldoc with backticks. My script doesn't call the .bat file "pod2html", it requires the module Pod::Html and uses its internal "pod2html" command - notice there are no backticks or system command around "pod2html" in my script. This allows the module to find the directories rather than invovling the shell as yours does with backticks.

I've updated the original script to check for .pod as well as .pm. This means that you can get a list of all of the non-moudule pods with mod=Pod/ (gives you a clickable list of the whole lib/Pod directory). You can also get individual pods in that directory with mod=Pod::perl or mod=Pod::perlreftut, etc.
