Re: perl pod link to anoter document

I haven't tried it, but you can specify relative paths with file:// URLs, you just have to use two slashes instead of three. (The two slashes are part of the protocol specification, if there is a third one, it's the leading slash of an absolute path).

Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed

i tried this and it did not work. the results are empty file links (file:///) http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html says Or you can link to a web page: L<scheme:...> L<text\|scheme:...> Links to an absolute URL. For example, L<http://www.perl.org/> or L<The Perl Home Page\|http://www.perl.org/>.	[reply]

i tried this and it did not work. You tried what? ro.pod `=head1 LINKS TO SHAM BO C<<< file:sham.html >>> L<file:sham.html> C<<< file:./sham.html >>> L<file:./sham.html> BOGUS LINKS, ABSOLUTE NOT RELATIVE ACCORDING TO FIREFOX C<<< file://sham.html >>> L<file://sham.html> C<<< file://./sham.html >>> L<file://./sham.html> =cut` [download] This fails (I expected this, many bugs in pod2html) `pod2html ro.pod > ro.html` This works `perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go ro.pod ro.html` This works `pom2 html ro.pod > ro.html` This works :) plackup -l localhost:80 -e require(Pod::POM::Web::PSGI)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This works perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go ro.pod ro.html thanks, this seems to fit best for me. it is part of core modules and gives correct output similar to pod2html. Thanks again	[reply]
