Re^3: introspection, or running pod2html on itself

If you use a HEREDOC, you can have variables to interpolate inside it, meaning you can still dump custom documentation.

If you take the __DATA__ route, you can use a template system to generate the custom docs.

Finally, you could include the module POD::HTML in your packed executable and have a subroutine defined in your script that will require it and essentially do what pod2html does for you.
