Re: Linking between pods

You're second attempt almost got it right. To fix your links, you need to specify the pod root as "/", because otherwise the program just uses the current directory (which is probably not "/").

From the usage information:
--podroot - filesystem base directory from which all relative paths in podpath stem (default is .).

So I think you want:

pod2html.bat --infile=Mini.pm --outfile=Mini.html --css=file:///Progra
+ms/Perl/html/Active.css --header --verbose --podroot="/" --podpath="P
+rograms/Perl/html"
[download]

You'll notice I modified your style sheet reference from file://C:/Programs/Perl/html/Active.css to file:///Programs/Perl/html/Active.css. That's what it took to get it to work for me. Hope this helps!

Updated to remove extraneous whitespace in command.

With your version (removing the extraneous space in "`-- podpath`", pod2html runs successfully, but the link still does not work, and the browser also fails to find the CSS. I suspect that pod2html may be expecting to be on a POSIX-style FS, so it requires absolute paths to start with "/". However, Windows browers apparently cannot evaluate absoulute paths with no drive letter. pod2html may only allow the CSS link to start with C:/ because it doesn't actually need to read the CSS, so allows anything.

Have you tried the command above (minus the extra space!) with IE? That's all I had at work yesterday, and it looked fine. I use Firefox at home as well though, and since nobody can be expected to make do with IE if given a choice, I fiddled some more with pod2html (following BrentDax suggestion with the "c\|"). 1.) To get the stylesheet to link correctly, try the following option (I'm assuming you installed your ActiveState Perl to C:\Programs\Perl): `--css="file://c\|/Programs/Perl/html/Active.css"` 2.) As for the links to perldocs, the "--htmlroot" option allows you to prepend what you need to the links. In combination with --podpath and --podroot, try: `--podroot="/" --podpath="Programs/Perl/html" --htmlroot="file://c\|"`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
