In the DBIx::Cookbook distribution on search.cpan.org, if you take a look at the searching document you will notice that the pod links to files of the form: 
DBIx/Cookbook/Recipe/Searching/$recipe.pod

[download]
for most of the cases starting from the top.

However, all pod links after the heading "specifying which columns to retrieve from a search" link to a ..tt file.

My problems with this are:

  1. If you look at the raw pod you dont see any change in the syntax warranting this
  2. When github formats this page all links point to the .pod files, never the .tt files

The only unusual thing is the head2 tag starts with a lowercase letter on the heading just before the odd redirection to .tt files starts





The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development.

-- Terence Parr, "Enforcing Strict Model View Separation in Template Engines"

In reply to My pod is getting linked to .tt files instead of .pod files in my CPAN distro by metaperl
