Hi there.
I've been trying to use Pod::Tree::HTML to create HTML pages from the POD in a CGI program I'm writing.
At first, I've tried doing this with the following code:
sub pod {
    my ($class, $source, $dest) = @_;

    my $html = Pod::Tree::HTML->new($source, $dest);
    $html->translate;
    open(HTML, $dest) or die "Can't open HTML for $source: $!";
    flock(HTML, LOCK_SH);
    print $cgi_query->header;
    foreach (<HTML>) {
        chomp;
        print;
    }
    close(HTML);
}

where $source and $dest are the paths to the source file and destination file. Performing this routine on any module from my program would result in the following HTML file:
<html><body></body></html>
So I've tried to do it a little differently by first creating a new Pod::Tree and then using new Pod::Tree::HTML on the tree, but got the same result. I've used Pod::Tree's dump subroutine to see the tree, but it was empty.

Using Perl's pod2html program on the modules of my program creates the HTML pages without any problem so I don't think there's a problem with my POD.

Any suggestions?
