I spoke too soon. While Pod::Html does work very well, everything fails against a packed .exe created with pp. Seems like the package stuffs the script inside a folder within the .exe. So, if my script is myscript.pl, and I do the following 
pp -o myscript.exe myscript.pl

myscript.pl gets stuffed as script/myscript.pl within the confines of myscript.exe. Hence, pod2html is unable to create anything against myscript.exe (because the pod is hidden inside the script).

That is very disappointing. I could take other monks' advice and use the __DATA__ block to store my html doc and then spit it out as needed, however, I have already got everything mapped out and typed up in pod. What a chore to extract it and redo as html.

unless... any suggestions (asks hopefully).

By the way, how do I find out the full path of the current script? __FILE__ or $0 give only the filename (actually, __FILE__ against the above exe gives script/myscript.pl)
