Re: POD to CPAN to POD?

Some thoughts

search.cpan.org is not CPAN, it is the official search engine, but there are others, like Kobesearch, MetaCPAN
PAUSE does not create html, see for yourself http://github.com/andk/pause
don't put an images directory in your package, use File::ShareDir and File::ShareDir::Install instead
A POD parser can do anything :) so yes, this is trivial to implement, but only practical if it is based on standard tools like File::ShareDir, say
```
=for image dist_file( 'File-ShareDir', 'images/foo.jpg' )

=for image module_file( 'File::ShareDir', 'images/foo.jpg' )

=for image class_file( 'File::ShareDir', 'images/foo.jpg' )

```
It would also be trivial to assume a dist or module or class based on the current dist/file being processed (also assuming a standard naming convention, which isn't universally followed), but it doesn't have to :)
And it would also be trivial to update Pod::Simple::HTML and maybe Pod::Html to handle =for image (?:dist|module|class)_file\( (?:'[^']+\'|\s+|,)+ \) for end users (me, you)
Not sure how search.cpan.org works exactly, but if it doesn't install modules (and it appears it doesn't) or run Makefile.PL && make (maybe it doesn't), then CPAN::Meta::Spec ( http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html ) might need to be updated to determine the sharedir info
you can preview/test your pod with search.cpan.org online pod previewer http://search.cpan.org/pod2html

Try it with inlined img/pod file to cpan :) pod and images/Re^2: Inline images in POD, it worked in my test (with modern browser)
