Without knowing details, I'm guessing that you are having trouble with pod2html. This will give an error if you do not specify a title for the html document you want to make. The correct usage is: `pod2html --infile="[filename]" --outfile="[filename]" --title="[some text for a title]"` You can get a full list of options by running: `pod2html --help`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Pod::HTML (which is basically the guts of pod2html) looks for a title for your document in a "=head1 NAME" pod directive. Other translators, most likely, will look for your title in the same place. The fact that you're getting this warning indicates that you don't have such a directive. Do you? If not, you should: `=head1 NAME foo - my foo program ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Show me your pod "code" so that I can try to see what you are doing wrong. [ qi3ber ] I used to think that I knew it all, then I started to listen.	[reply]
