Re^3: Where to place POD

You need some POD. The online documentation that you see on CPAN is harvested from the POD embedded within the module. I'm not experienced enough to know how to publish that portion via strictly HTML or some other format. A PDF would be useful for a larger or more complicated explanation, but there is nothing stopping one from linking to a PDF within the POD. POD has its own styles for markup, but HTML can be used within POD if specified.

One may get an idea of how a module will be shown on CPAN via this POD renderer:

https://metacpan.org/pod2html

I found it to be close, but not perfect; in my case requiring some later adjustments to manipulate the final formatting of the displayed POD.

The formatting codes, including illustrations for how to embed HTML, are available here:
