ww says Re Re^2: Perl Module Documentation -d -T -o and note carefully that I said "starting point" -- NOT, here's a script to do the conversion

Those options certainly did not stand out to me as a mechanism by which the OPs question could be solved.

And even now you pointed them out I still wouldn't have a clue how to use them to solve his problem.

Perhaps you would consider supplying a little more info on how to go about it?

I asked because I would very much like to know how to do this. I have and use daily, minute by minute, the AS HTML treeview built by AS. But:

  1. it only includes modules installed by PPM, not those I build/install via other mechanisms;
  2. it includes POD for a whole bunch of stuff from the AS & standard distribution that I'm not interested in and would like to exclude.

    Eg. I Have no use for this lot:

    <Reveal this spoiler or all spoilers in this node or all in this thread>

    Or this junk:

    <Reveal this spoiler>

    Or this stuff:

    <Reveal this spoiler>
  3. and it includes whole heaps of stuff from some modules that I would like to exclude.

    Eg. This junk from Date::Manip

    <Reveal this spoiler>

    And this from somewhat similar crap from DateTime :

    <Reveal this spoiler>

    And there's more. Much, much more!

  4. I can manually trim these out, but the next time I install a module with PPM, it rebuilds it all and everything reappears. I would really like to find a way to produce an HTML doc stack of just the bits of POD that I find useful.

So you see. My question was not an idle one, but actually an attempt to illicit further info on how to go about this.

The said. RTFM replies are only really useful if the information asked for is there and obvious and likely to be both recognised and understood by the OP. And despite the time I've been around Perl, your post did not help me answer the question.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
