I'm trying to make a crossreference to one of the standard perl docs from within my POD, but I've been unable to fiddle pod2html into working. I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.3.

The link (one of many): L<are-a|perlobj/isa>

The first attempt:

pod2html.bat --infile=Mini.pm --outfile=Mini.html --css=file://C:/Programs/Perl/html/Active.css --header --verbose --podpath=C:/Programs/Perl/lib

and the error message:

C:\Programs\Perl\bin\pod2html.bat: error opening directory C: No such file or directory

The second attempt (with the "C:" dropped from --podpath),

pod2html.bat --infile=Mini.pm --outfile=Mini.html --css=file://C:/Programs/Perl/html/Active.css --header --verbose --podpath=/Programs/Perl/lib

did run without errors, but resulted in a link to file://programs/Perl/lib/Pod/perlobj.html#isa, which neither Firefox nor IE can resolve. Help!
